Viewing and editing an Application Server profile

An Application Server profile is a definition of an Application Server identity: its name, type, and attributes (configuration parameters). To view an Application Server profile or change attribute values, use the Edit Application Server Profile dialog box.

• Rules for defining unique attributes
• Listing conflicting attributes

To view and edit an Application Server profile

1. In the TrueSight Server Automation Console, from the Configuration menu, select Infrastructure Management.
2. Expand the hierarchy of the Application Servers node.
3. Right-click the Application Server you want to edit and select Edit. The Edit Application Server Profile dialog box opens.
4. In the Edit Application Server Profile dialog box, add or change values for attributes.
    The fields in this dialog box are overrides to default values or to previously specified configuration parameters. For a list of the available attributes, see List of profile attributes.
   • To add an attribute to the Application Server profile, or to change a default value, type a value in the blank field.
   • To change an existing value, clear the field and type the value you want.
   • To remove an attribute from the profile, clear the field.
5. When you are finished editing the profile, click OK.
6. Click OK on the warning that configuration changes do not take effect until you restart the Application Server.
7. Start or restart the Application Server to have changes take effect.

List of profile attributes

The following table describes all attributes that a profile can include. Attributes listed depend on the Server Profile Type (Application Server Type).

Rules for defining unique attributes

Several rules apply when assigning unique values to attributes:

• Multiple Application Servers can share any port that is set to 0 (zero) if that setting of 0 disables the port.
• Multiple Application Servers can have the same value for MaxJobs, MaxWorkItemThreads, or SqlFiles, regardless of the value.
• All other attributes must be unique. Failure to make attributes unique results in conflicts that can cause a start or restart failure in one or more Application Servers. For information about identifying conflicts in Application Server attributes, see Listing conflicting attributes.

Listing conflicting attributes

The Application Server Launcher automatically detects attribute conflicts among the Application Servers that it controls.
When there are Application Servers on the same host, each should have a unique profile. For the most part, attributes for these Application Servers cannot have the same values.

Typically, a conflict occurs because the same port number has been assigned to more than one Application Server. This type of conflict prevents an Application Server from starting or restarting if it has conflicts with one or more currently running Application Servers. When an Application Server profile has a conflicting attributes, its Application Server details shows State = CONFLICT.

You can also use the List Conflicts option to identify attributes on an Application Server that conflict with attributes on other Application Servers.

1. In the TrueSight Server Automation Console, from the Configuration menu, select Infrastructure Management.
2. In the Infrastructure Management window, expand the hierarchy of the Application Servers node.
3. Right-click an Application Server and select List Conflicts.
    A Warning panel lists the attributes that conflict with those other Application Servers. For each attribute, the panel shows the attribute name and the name of the Application Server that has the same attribute value specified.
4. Click OK.
