6.6.26.0: Process definition properties

Key:
Property name in the Java-based administrative console Applies to Java administrative console of Advanced Edition Version 4.0
Property name in the Web-based administrative console Applies to Web administrative console of Advanced Single Server Edition Version 4.0
Property name in the application client resource configuration tool Applies to Application Client Resource Configuration Tool

See also the other application server properties.

Environment  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
Name-value pairs for configuring environment variable values for the running process
Executable Name  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
The executable name of the process
File Permissions  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
Read, Write, and Execute permissions for the Owner, User, and Group security roles
Group ID  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The name of the operating system user under which to run the server

Note that the operating system user must exist on the machine where the server is to run before the server is started. This user must be assigned the necessary operating system privileges for performing operations such as creating output files on the local file system.

JVM Settings  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
Java virtual machine configuration settings for the application server's process
Maximum Startup Attempts  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The maximum number of times to attempt to start the application server before giving up
Ping Initial Timeout  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The maximum time in seconds for the server to finish initialization. After this time elapses, the administrative server attempts to restart the server.
Ping Interval  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The frequency of communication attempts between the parent process, such as a process manager, and the process it is trying to spawn. Adjust this value based on your requirements for restarting failed servers. Decreasing the value detects failures sooner; increasing the value reduces the frequency of pings, reducing system overhead.
Ping Timeout  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
When a parent process is spawning a child process, such as when a process manager spawns a server, the parent process pings the child process to see whether the child was spawned successfully. This value specifies the number of seconds that the parent process should wait (after pinging the child process) before assuming that the child process failed.
Process Priority  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
Operating system priority for the process. Only root users can change this value.
Run As User  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
Runs the process as a specific user
Run As Group  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
Runs the process as a member of a specific group
Standard Input  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The file from which the standard input stream will be read
Standard Output  Property name in the Java-based administrative console or Stdout File Name  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
The file to which the standard output stream will be directed. The file name can include a symbolic path name defined in the path map entries.

For the Advanced Single Server Edition: Click "View..." to view the contents of the stdout file.

Standard Error  Property name in the Java-based administrative console or Stderr File Name  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
The file to which the standard error stream will be directed. The file name can include a symbolic path name defined in the path map entries.

For the Advanced Single Server Edition: Click "View..." to view the contents of the stderr file.

Stderr File Name  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
See Standard Error
Stdout File Name  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
See Standard Output
Umask  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
The user mask that the process runs under (the file-mode permission mask)
User ID  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The name of the operating system user under which to run the server

Note that the operating system user must exist on the machine where the server is to run before the server is started. This user must be assigned the necessary operating system privileges for performing operations such as creating output files on the local file system.

Working directory  Property name in the Java-based administrative console  Property name in the Web-based administrative console
The local directory in which to run the server

This directory is used to determine the locations of input and output files with relative path names.

After you start a server, it is recommended that you do not change the server's working directory.

Passivated enterprise beans are placed in the current working directory of the application server on which the beans are running. Make sure the working directory is a known directory under the root directory of the Application Server product.
