A health policy is the definition of specific health criteria that you want your WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise to protect itself against. The health management function uses the defined policy to search the environment for software malfunctions.
If you chose the Supervise reaction mode, then you receive recommendations to improve your health conditions. These recommendations display as runtime tasks that you can accept, deny, or close. To manage runtime tasks, click System administration > Task Management > Runtime Tasks in the administrative console. If you chose the Automatic reaction mode, actions to improve the health of your environment occur automatically.
For supervised reaction mode runtime tasks, you can set the Java virtual machine (JVM) com.ibm.ws.xd.hmm.controller.ControlConfig.approvalTimeOutMinutes custom property, which specifies the number of minutes that can pass before a runtime task for the health controller expires. If you set the value to 5 minutes or less, the default value of 30 minutes is automatically used instead. If you do not take any actions on the runtime task, the task expires in the number of minutes that is specified in this property. If the runtime task expires when the health condition still exists, a new runtime task is generated.
If you configure your health policies often, consider using AdminTask commands to automate the process.
