Autonomic controllers custom properties

You can use custom properties to configure the autonomic controllers to always start on a particular node or deployment manager process.

Complete the following steps to set the custom property on a node agent process.
  1. In the administrative console, click System administration > Nodes > node_name > node_agent_name > Java and process management > Process definition > Java virtual machine > Custom properties.
  2. Enter the name of the custom property.
  3. Set the value of the custom property to true.
  4. Click Apply, and save your changes.
