Use this page to view or change the process execution settings for a server process.
A server process applies to either an application server, a node agent or a deployment manager.
For the z/OS platform, to view this administrative console page for an application server, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name. Then, under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management, select either servant, control or adjunct, and then click Process Execution.
To view this administrative console page for a node agent, click System Administration > Node agents >node_agent_name. Then, under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management > Process Definition > control > Process Execution.
To view this administrative console page for a deployment manager, click System Administration > Deployment manager. Then, under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management, select either servant, or control, and then click Process Execution.
Specifies the operating system priority for the process. The administrative process that launches the server must have root operating system authority in order to honor this setting.
Data type | Integer |
Default | 20 for WebSphere Application Server on all operating systems. |
Specifies the user mask under which the process runs (the file-mode permission mask).
The deployment manager and application servers must run with a 022 umask in order to support system management functions. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not change the default value of this setting for the deployment manager or the controller.
If the process is running in a servant, you can either specify a different user mask setting in this field or use the _EDC_UMASK_DFLT environment variable in the JCL procedure for the servant to change this setting.
Data type | Integer |
Default | 022 |
Specifies the user that the process runs as. This user ID must be defined to the security system.
This field does not apply if you are running on a z/OS operating system. z/OS users must use RACF to associate a user to an address space. A process display shows the RACF associated user as the running user.
Data type | String |
Specifies the group that the process is a member of and runs as.
This field does not apply if you are running on a z/OS operating system. z/OS users must use RACF to associate a group to an address space. A process display shows the RACF associated group as the running user.
If the runAsGroup value is
specified, then that value is added to the secondary group list. If
the runAsGroup value specified is not the runAsUser's primary group,
the primary group will only be included in the secondary group list
if the user is defined as part of the group list in the group database,
typically /etc/group.
Data type | String |
Specifies a specific process group for the process. A process group is a mechanism that the operating system uses to logically associate multiple processes and operate on them as a single unit. Usually, the operating system uses this mechanism for signal distribution.
This field does not apply if you are running on a z/OS operating system. z/OS users must use RACF to associate a process group to an address space. A process display shows the RACF associated process group as the running user.
Specific operating systems might allow other operations to be performed on a process group. Refer to your operating system documentation for more information on the operations that can be performed on a process group.
Data type | Integer |
Default | 0, which indicates that the process is not assigned to a specific process group. |
