Error description

Customer needs to modify plugin parameters via administrative
console

Customer wants to modify PostSizeLimit parameter for a specific
application server via the administrative console.

Servers -> Web Servers -> "Server Name" -> Plugin Properties ->
Request
Routing -> Maximum size of request content

When customer configures a value in "Maximum size of request
content" and regenerates plugin, these value is applied to all
clusters.

Customer wants this change to only affect a particular cluster.

This was allowed with verison 5.0 but has been removed with
follow on releases.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V6.1 and V7.0                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: PostSizeLimit Plugin property           *
*                      requires a manual change if different   *
*                      values are required between 2 or more   *
*                      clusters                                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
PostSizeLimit is set through web server section of the
administrative console.  Therefore, every cluster associated
to the same web server will the same value.  To affect a
different value to only one of the clusters requires a manual
change.

Problem conclusion

An overridePluginPostSizeLimit property has been created to
override the value set within the web server > plugin
properties area.  This property is set within the
Administrative Console Servers > Server Types > WebSphere
Application Servers > [servername] > Web Container > custom
properties.  The [servername] can be for any member of the
cluster. Add the overridePluginPostSizeLimit name and give it
a value.

Other overridePlugin properties were added at the same time to
provide additional control to Cluster properties that are
traditionally set globally.  Each can be set the same way as
noted above.

overridePluginPostBufferSize
overridePluginLoadBalance
overridePluginPostSizeLimit
overridePluginRemoveSpecialHeaders
overridePluginRetryInterval
overridePluginGetDWLMTable
overridePluginIgnoreAffinityRequest
overridePluginCloneSeparatorChange

This can also be set using wsadmin.  The following are the
commands to accomplish this.

Open a command prompt and changed directories to my Dmgr/bin
directory (c:\program files\websphere
x\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr\bin)
Start wsadmin using that dmgr's soap port (wsadmin -conntype
SOAP [-port abcd] -lang jacl)

wsadmin> set server_id [$AdminConfig getid
/Node:NodeXYZ/Server:server1]
wsadmin> set webcontainer [$AdminConfig list WebContainer
$server_id]
wsadmin> $AdminConfig create Property $webcontainer {{name
new_name} {value new_value}} properties
wsadmin> $AdminConfig save
To display the web container values, use the following command:
wsadmin> $AdminConfig show $webcontainer
