Process definition settings

Use this page to configure a process definition. A process definition includes the command line information necessary to start or initialize a process.

For the base WebSphere Application Server and the WebSphere Application Server - Express products, only the command-line information for starting or initializing a process applies.

To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name. Then under Server Infrastructure click Java™ Process Management > Process Definition.

Configuration tab

Executable Name

This command line information only applies to the base WebSphere Application Server and the WebSphere Application Server - Express products. It specifies the executable name that is invoked to start the process.

Data type String

Executable arguments

This command line information specifies the arguments that are passed to the executable when starting the process.

You can enter multiple arguments in this field, but they must be separated by carriage returns. Use the Enter key on your keyboard to create these carriage returns. The following example illustrates how a perl script application that requires two arguments should appear in this field:
perl_application.pl
arg1
arg2
Data type String
Units Command-line arguments

Working directory

Specifies the file system directory that the process uses as its current working directory. This setting only applies for the i5/OS platform and for distributed platforms.

Important: z/OS users should not use the Working directory setting on the administrative console. On z/OS, the working directory is always the UNIX® System Services directory that is defined via the OMVS setting of the RACF® user profile for the user that starts the servant. For z/OS, you cannot use the administrative console to change this setting. Therefore, to provide compatibility between the applications on a z/OS platform and a distributed platform, set the UNIX System Services directory to the same value that was supplied for the Working Directory option on the distributed platform.

The process uses this directory to determine the locations of input and output files with relative path names.

Data type String
