Update the global web server plug-in configuration setting
Use this page to create or update a global plug-in configuration file. The configuration settings this file contains are based on the topology of the cell that contains the applications servers that use this web server plug-in. The web server plug-in configuration file settings determine whether an application server or the web server handles user requests.
A global web server plug-in configuration file must be regenerated
whenever:
- You change the configuration settings for an application server, cluster, web container transport, or virtual host alias that is contained in the cell.
- You add a new application server, cluster, web container transport, or virtual host alias to the cell.
The generated plugin-cfg.xml file is placed in the
%was_profile_home%/config/cells directory. If your web server is located on a remote
machine, you must manually move this file to that machine.
Avoid trouble: Topology-centric, or global, plug-in
configuration is deprecated. Instead, use application-centric configuration as described in Implementing a web server plug-in. For any existing topology-centric configuration, you can update the
global plugin-cfg.xml file using the administrative console or running the
GenPluginCfg command for all of the clusters in a cell. However, you must delete
the config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml file before you update the global
plugin-cfg.xml file. If you do not delete the
config/cells/plugin-cfg.xml file, only the new properties and their values are
added to the global plugin-cfg.xml file. Any updates to existing plug-in
property values are not added to the global plugin-cfg.xml file.gotcha

.Click OK to update the global plugin-cfg.xml file.
