Configuration data for the WebSphere Application Server
product resides in files. Two services help you reconfigure and otherwise
manage these files: the file transfer service and file synchronization
service.
About this task
By default, the file transfer service is always configured
and enabled at a node agent, so you do not need to take additional
steps to configure this service. However, you might need to configure
the file synchronization service.
Procedure
- Go to the File Synchronization Service page. Click System
Administration > Node Agents in the console navigation tree. Then,
click the node agent for which you want to configure a synchronization
server and click File Synchronization Service.
- On the File Synchronization Service page, customize the
service that helps make configuration data consistent across a cell
by moving updated configuration files from the deployment manager
to the node. Change the values for properties on the
File Synchronization Service page. The file synchronization
service is always started, but you can control how it runs by changing
the values.
- By default if node synchronization fails
five times consecutively, automatic synchronization is disabled.
To keep automatic synchronization enabled, specify a custom property
on the Java virtual machine (JVM) of the node agent using the administrative
console.
- Click System Administration > Node Agents > nodeagent.
Click on the node agent for which you want to configure the
optional custom property.
- Under Server Infrastructure, expand Java and Process
Management then click Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine
> Custom Properties.
- Click New.
- Specify a name and value for the custom property.
The com.ibm.websphere.management.sync.allowfailure custom
property:
To keep automatic synchronization enabled, specify
this custom property with a value of
true.

The com.ibm.websphere.management.application.expand.wto

console. When the errors display, the operator can take appropriate
corrective action for the failure.
