Application server custom properties for z/OS

Some of the application server custom properties that are provided with the product can be used only with z/OS®. This topic describes how to use these properties.

Deprecated feature: Setting these custom properties at the server level is deprecated. However, you can specify them as WebSphere® variables with a scope of either a specific server, specific node, or specific cell. Server scoped WebSphere variables still override any settings specified at the node scope, or higher, and are added to the was.env file.

To set one of these custom properties for either an application server or a deployment manager, in the administrative console, click Environment > WebSphere variables, select the appropriate node or cell from the list of available servers, nodes and cells, and then click New.

You can use the custom properties page to define the following application server custom properties for z/OS:

adjunct_jvm_direct_options

Specifies options that you need to pass directly to the Java virtual machine (JVM) launch in the adjunct. This property is typically used for JVM options that the JVM cannot read from the options file that is specified as the value of the control_region_jvm_properties_file property. For example, the JVM cannot read the value that is specified for the -memorycheck option in the options file.

If you specify multiple options, use a semicolon to separate the options.

You can use the servant_jvm_direct_options and control_jvm_direct_options custom properties to specify options that you need to pass directly to the JVM launch in the servant and controller.

adjunct_region_start_sib_abend

Specifies what action takes place when a critical messaging engine takes too long to start.

If you set this property to 0, warning message BBOO0418W is issued.

If you set this property to 1, the entire application server abnormally terminates.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Valid Values 1 or 0
Default 0
Used by Daemon No

adjunct_region_start_sib_waittime

Specifies how many seconds the server start process waits for a critical messaging engine to become active.

This variable applies only if the adjunct_region_start_synchronized environment variable is set to 1. This property controls how long the start process waits for both the adjunct region and the critical messaging engine to start. A value of 0 disables the timeout, and the start process waits indefinitely for the adjunct region and the critical messaging engine to start.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Default 300
Used by Daemon No

adjunct_region_start_synchronized

Specifies whether the startup process waits for all critical messaging engines to start before opening for e-business.

If you set this property to 1, the startup process waits for all critical messaging engines to start before starting to process e-business applications.

If you set this property to 0, the startup process does not wait for the critical messaging engines to start.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Valid Values 1 or 0
Default 0

allow_large_SAF_groups

Specifies that you want to allow the application server to do lookups on large SAF groups.

If you set this property to 1, the size of the buffer that is used to do lookups is tripled from 8192 bytes to 24576 bytes.

You can also set this property to a specific number off bytes up to and including 2147483647. If you specify an integer, other than 1, as the value for this property, the buffer size becomes that number of bytes. For example, if you specify allow_large_SAF_groups=21400000, the size of the buffer that is used to do lookups on SAF groups is 21400000 bytes.

If you do not specify a value for this property, or specify a value of 0, the buffer size is 8192 bytes.

Range 1 - 2147483647
Default 0

com.ibm.ws.sib.ra.inbound.impl.MessageLockExpiry

When a message arrives on the queue that a message-driven bean (MDB) is consuming from, the message is locked and passed to the MDB in the servant region. If the servant region is disabled, or if there is an error processing the message on the servant region, this property defines how long the messaging engine waits before unlocking the message so that it can be delivered again.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Units milliseconds
Default 300000
Range A positive integer. The value 0 indicates that the message lock never expires and the messaging engine waits indefinitely for the servant region to process and unlock the message.

condense_java_trace

control_region_confirm_recovery_on_ no_srs

Specifies whether requests are dispatched to servants after the detection of a no-servants situation. This property is ignored if the control_region_dreg_on_no_srs custom property is set to 0.

When this property is set to 1, the controller does not dispatch requests to the servants until it receives a response to message BBOO0297A. This message is issued following a no-servant situation when the server detects that the required minimal number of servants are available to process requests.

When this property is set to 0 (zero), the controller determines when to allow requests to be dispatched to the servants after a no-servant condition is detected.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Acceptable values 0 or 1
Default 0

control_region_dreg_on_no_srs

Specifies whether the controller rejects requests for dispatch within a servant when it detects that no servants are available to process requests.

When this property is set to 1, if the controller detects that there are no servants available to process requests, it rejects requests for dispatch within the servants. It also removes the application server from the registry of servers that workload management (WLM) uses to assign work, and stops the HTTP and message-driven bean (MDB) listeners. If this property is set to 0, then the function is disabled.

When the minimum number of servants become available, the controller registers the application server with WLM again, starts the HTTP and MDB listeners, and allows requests to be dispatched to the servants.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Acceptable values 0 or 1
Default 0

control_region_http_queue_timeout_percent

Specifies the percentage of the HTTP dispatch time limit that is used as the maximum amount of time that an HTTP request can spend on the workload management (WLM) queue. The protocol_http_timeout_output custom property is used to specify the maximum amount of time that an HTTP request can spend on the queue and in dispatch before an error message is issued, which indicates that an HTTP dispatch timeout occurred.

The queue_timeout_percent request-level Reliability Availability and Serviceability (RAS) attribute overrides the control_region_http_queue_timeout_percent custom property for HTTP requests. You define the request-level RAS attributes in the workload classification file.

This property applies only to a Websphere Application Server configured with a servant. This property specifies whether HTTP requests on the WLM Queue can be requeued to any available servant.

When this property is set to 1, HTTP requests waiting on the WLM queue with an affinity to a servant that is marked for termination can be requeued to any available servant when the servant with affinity terminates.

When this property is set to 0 (zero), the server fails any HTTP requests on the WLM queue with an affinity to a servant that is marked for termination immediately. Also, the server fails any new HTTP request with affinity to the unhealthy servant.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Acceptable values 0 or 1
Default 0

control_region_iiop_queue_timeout_percent

Specifies the percentage of the IIOP dispatch time limit that is used as the maximum amount of time that an IIOP request can spend on the workload management (WLM) queue.

This property applies only to the time that the request spends on the WLM queue. Use the control_region_wlm_dispatch_timeout custom property if you want to limit the amount of time that the request spends on both the WLM queue and in dispatch,

The queue_timeout_percent request-level RAS attribute overrides the control_region_iiop_queue_timeout_percent custom property for IIOP requests. You define the request-level RAS attributes in the workload classification file.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Range 0 - 99
Default 0

control_region_mdb_queue_timeout_percent

Specifies the percentage of the MDB dispatch time limit that is used as the maximum amount of time that an MDB request can spend on the workload management (WLM) queue.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Range 0 - 99
Default 0

control_region_mdb_request_timeout

Specifies the time, in seconds, that the server waits for a message-driven bean (MDB) request to receive a response. If the response is not received within the specified amount of time, the server removes the MDB request, and issues an error message that indicates that an MDB dispatch timeout occurred.

The request_timeout request-level RAS attribute overrides the control_region_mdb_request_timeout custom property for MDB requests. You define the request-level RAS attributes in the workload classification file.

Set this value to 0 to disable the function.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Units Seconds
Default 120

control_region_on_stop_abterm_hung_sr_waittime

Specifies the number seconds the controller waits before it checks for servants with hung threads that need to be abended.

When this property is set to the default of 0, servants with hung threads are not abended. For any value other than 0, the controller waits a number of seconds that is equal to the value before it checks for servants with hung threads that need to be abended. The abend code that is issued is EC3 with reason code 042B0001.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Default 0

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Range 0 - 99
Default 0

control_region_thread_pool_maximum_size

Specifies the maximum number of threads that the controller region worker thread pool can grow to.

The pool starts at control_region_thread_pool_size and grows to control_region_thread_pool_maximum_size. When control_region_thread_pool_maximum_size is set to 0, the maximum number of worker threads are calculated based on the number of servants and the number of threads in each servant.

If the calculated value is less than control_region_thread_pool_size, then control_region_thread_pool_size is used as the maximum. If the calculated value is greater than 100, then 100 is used as the maximum. When specifying a maximum, ensure that there are enough resources available to support the specified maximum. An example of a resource to consider is the JVM heap size.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Default 0
Used by Daemon Yes

control_region_timeout_delay

Specifies the number of seconds a controller waits after detecting a timeout before it terminates the servant. This time delay gives work that is running in the servant a chance to complete before the servant is terminated.

The specified length of time period starts when a timeout occurs. When a servant thread completes its current work item and determines that the servant is being terminated, the servant thread waits for the specified length of time instead of selecting a new work item.

When this field is set to 0, the controller terminates a servant as soon as the controller detects a timeout.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Units Seconds
Default 0
This property is affected by the setting for the server_use_wlm_to_queue_work property:
  • If the server_use_wlm_to_queue_work property is set to 1, during the time period specified for the control_region_timeout_delay property, exactly one new request can be processed by each servant worker thread that is idle when the timeout occurred.

    Only one new request is processed because, when the timeout occurs, the idle servant worker thread are paused waiting for WLM to assign each of them a new request. When WLM assigns new work to one of these threads, the thread becomes active, processes the work, and then acquiesces. Therefore, WLM cannot assign any additional work to this thread.

  • If the server_use_wlm_to_queue_work property is set to 0, during the time period specified for the control_region_timeout_delay property, work requests that were not yet dispatched but were queued without affinity to the terminating servant, are requeued to another available servant after the servant termination process completes.

control_region_timeout_dump_action

Specifies the type of dump that is taken whenever a timeout occurs for work that is dispatched to a servant. This property applies only applies if the control_region_timeout_delay custom property is set to a non-zero value.

Valid values for this property are SVCDUMP, JAVACORE, HEAPDUMP, TRACEBACK, JAVATDUMP, and NONE. JAVACORE generates a Java core dump. SVCDUMP generates an SVC dump. JAVATDUMP generates a JVM-initiated TDUMP.

Information Value
Default TRACEBACK

control_region_timeout_dump_action_session

Specifies the type of dump that is taken whenever a timeout occurs for an HTTP, HTTPS, SIP, or SIPS request that is dispatched to a servant.

This property applies only if the following corresponding variable is set to SESSION:

  • protocol_http_timeout_output_recovery
  • protocol_https_timeout_output_recovery
  • protocol_sip_timeout_output_recovery
  • protocol_sips_timeout_output_recovery

Valid values for this property are SVCDUMP, JAVACORE, HEAPDUMP, TRACEBACK, JAVATDUMP, and NONE. JAVACORE generates a Java core dump. SVCDUMP generates an SVC dump. JAVATDUMP generates a JVM-initiated TDUMP.

Information Value
Default TRACEBACK

control_region_timeout_save_last_servant

Specifies whether the controller terminates the last available servant when a timeout situation occurs. If the controller does not terminate the last available servant when a timeout situation occurs, other work continues to be processed until a new servant is initialized. However, not terminating the last available servant might cause the loss of system resources if the dispatched servant thread that encountered the timeout situation continues to loop or stops functioning. For example, if timeouts keep occurring, the system might consume a high percentage of the available servant threads.

The functionality of this property depends on the values that you specify for other custom properties:
  • If you set this property to 1, and the wlm_minimumSRCount custom property is set to a value that is greater than 1, when a timeout situation occurs, the controller waits until a new servant is initialized before it terminates the last available servant.
  • If you set this property to 0, or when a timeout situation occurs, the controller terminates the last available servant. It does not wait for another servant to be initialized.
  • If the wlm_dynapplenv_single_server custom property is set to 1, the value that you specify for this property is ignored.
Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Default 0

controller_jvm_direct_options

Specifies options that you need to pass directly to the JVM launch in the controller. This property is typically used for JVM options that the JVM cannot read from the options file that is specified as the value of the control_region_jvm_properties_file property. For example, the JVM cannot read the value that is specified for the -memorycheck option in the options file.

If you specify multiple options, use a semicolon to separate the options.

You can use the servant_jvm_direct_options to specify options that you need to pass directly to the JVM launch in the servant. You can use the adjunct_jvm_direct_options custom properties to specify options that you need to pass directly to the JVM launch in the adjunct.

Information Value
Data Type String
Default Empty string

DAEMON_ras_trace_ctraceParms

Specifies the identity of the CTRACE PARMLIB member. The value can be either a two-character suffix, which is added to the CTIBBO string to form the name of the PARMLIB member, or the fully specified name of the PARMLIB member. For example, you can use the 01 suffix, which the system resolves to CTIBBO01. A fully specified name must conform to the naming requirements for a CTRACE PARMLIB member. For details, see z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Tools and Service Aids, GA22-7589.

If the specified PARMLIB member is not found, then tracing is defined to CTRACE, but no connection is available to a CTRACE external writer.

Used by Daemon Yes

default_internal_work_transaction_class

Specifies the default transaction class for internally processed work within the server.

If an internal classification element is not listed in the wlm_classification_file, or if the wlm_classification_file is not specified, then the default_internal_work_transaction_class setting is used. If a value is specified for internal classification setting listed in the wlm_classification_file, the value that is specified for the default_internal_work_transaction_class custom property is ignored.

Information Value
Data Type String
Default null (empty string)
Used by Daemon No

dynapplenv_wlm_select_policy

Specifies that value that you want passed to the z/OS Workload Manager (WLM) as the SELECT_POLICY parameter of the IWMAEDEF service.

The IWMAEDEF service is used to create the dynamic application environment for the selection of work from the WLM queue. For more information about this service, see the z/OS WLM documentation for your version of the z/OS operating system.

You can specify values of 0, 1 or 2 for this property.
  • If you specify a value of 0, the oldest request on either the service class or server address space queue is selected first.
  • If you specify a value of 1, any requests on the server address space queue are always selected first.
  • If you specify a value of 2, any requests on the service class queue are always selected first.

iiop_max_msg_megsize

Specifies, in megabytes, the maximum size for IIOP requests. For example, if you set the property to 35, then any requests over 35 MB are rejected. The minimum value for this property is 10, and the maximum value is 2048. Set the value to 0 or omit this property if you do not want to limit the size of IIOP requests.

Avoid trouble: This custom property only applies to application servers that are running in 64-bit mode. The maximum size for IIOP requests that are being handled by application servers running in 31-bit mode is 10 MB.
Information Value
Data Type Integer
Default 0
Used by Daemon No

iiop_max_send_queue_megsize

Specifies, in megabytes, the maximum amount of data that can be queued up to send asynchronously over a single IIOP connection. If the amount of data queued exceeds the specified value, future IIOP requests over this connection fail with a C9C26A4D minor code. The minimum value for this property is 0, which indicates that there is no limit to the amount of data that can be queued for sending. The maximum value is 2048.

Information Value
Data Type Integer

local_comm_max_msg_megsize

Specifies, in megabytes, the maximum size of locally connected communications requests. For example, if you set the property to 35, then any requests over 35 MB are rejected. The minimum value for this property is 10 and the maximum value is 2048. Set the value to 0 or omit this property if you do not want to limit the size of locally connected communications requests.

Avoid trouble: This custom property only applies to application servers that are running in 64-bit mode. The maximum size for IIOP requests that are being handled by application servers running in 31-bit mode is 10 MB.
Information Value
Data Type Integer
Default 0

ola_cicsuser_identity_propagate

Specifies permission for CICS application level identities to be used for authentication when the registration request is made.

When an application requests an optimized local adapter registration, the programmer can use two security-related bits in the registration flags structure to control identity propagation. For transactions that are inbound from CICS to WebSphere Application Server, bit 29 (x'00',x'00',x'00',x'04') controls how the identity is determined. When this property is turned on, the CICS application identity is used in WebSphere server authentication. When this property is turned off , the CICS region identity is used.

WebSphere Application Server administrators must set the environment variable to permit CICS application level identities to be used for authentication when the registration request is made. Set the value of to 1 to allow the use of CICS task level identity. If it is undefined or set to 0 (zero), registration requests can request only CICS region level authentication, otherwise if registration flag bit 29 is set to 1, the BBOA1REG registration request fails with a return code 8 and reason code 21. Bit 21 (x'00',x'00',x'00',x'01') controls outbound transaction security propagation. See outbound transactions for information.

pause_listeners_include_cra

Specifies whether to pause and resume the Activation Specification listeners when the MODIFY commands, PAUSELISTENERS and RESUMELISTENERS, are invoked.

This inclusion applies to other means of pausing listeners as well, such as autopause. The default is not to include the Activation Specification listeners when pausing listeners.

When this property is set to 1, the Activation Specification listeners are included among the paused listeners.

When this property is set to 0, the Activation Specification listeners are not included among the paused listeners.

Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Acceptable values 0 or 1
Default 0

protocol_accept_http_work_after_min_srs

Specifies whether the application server waits until a minimum number of servants are ready to accept work before the application server starts the HTTP transport channels. If this property is set to true, then when the minimum number of servants are ready for work, the HTTP transport channels start accepting work. If this property is set to false, the HTTP transport channels start when the controller starts.

When this property is set to true, the value specified for the Minimum number of instances property determines the number of servants that must be ready before the HTTP transport channels start. To change the setting of the Minimum number of instances property for an application server, in the administrative console, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Java and process management > Server instance. To change the setting of this property for a deployment manager, in the administrative console, click System Administration > Deployment manager > Java and process management > Server instance.

The job output indicates protocol_accept_http_work_after_min_srs: 1, if this property is set to true, or protocol_accept_http_work_after_min_srs: 0, if this property is set to false.

Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Default true
Used by Daemon No

protocol_accept_iiop_work_after_min_srs

Determines when the daemon starts to send requests to the IIOP transport channels. If this property is set to true, the daemon starts to send requests to the IIOP transport channels when the minimum number of servants, as specified for the Minimum Number of Instances property, are ready to accept work, If this property is set to false, the daemon starts to sent requests to the IIOP transport channels when the controller starts.

Avoid trouble: Even if this property is set to true, if you are running client applications that do caching, such as bean caching, it is possible for requests from these applications to be sent directly to the open IIOP port before the minimum number of servants are available. This situation might occur because the IIOP listeners start early in the server start process, possibly opening the IIOP port before the specified minimum number of servants are initialized.

To change the setting of the Minimum Number of Instances property for an application server, in the administrative console, click Application servers > server > Java and Process Management > Server Instance.

To change the setting of this property for a deployment manager, in the administrative console, click System administration > Deployment manager > Java and Process Management > Server Instance.

protocol_giop_level_highest

Specifies the CORBA General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP) protocol version level that is used by the application server object request broker (ORB). Valid values are 1.1 and 1.2. Interoperable object references (IORs) that are exported from this server use the GIOP level indicated.

You might need to change the setting of this property from the default value if you use a client ORB that is not shipped as part of the product, and that supports a previous version of the CORBA standard. For example, you might need to change from the default protocol version level of 1.2 to 1.1 to support a client ORB that supports the 1.1 CORBA standard instead of the 1.2 CORBA standard.

Avoid trouble: The maximum GIOP level that the daemon address space supports is 1.1. The GIOP level has of the daemon has no effect on the GIOP levels of the application servers that connect to the daemon.

protocol_http_large_data_inbound_buffer_64bit

Specifies, in megabytes, the size limit for incoming HTTP requests when inbound HTTP chunking is disabled. For example, if you set the property to 35, any HTTP requests over 35 MB are rejected. Specify 0 for this property if you do not want to limit the size of unchunked HTTP requests.

Avoid trouble: Use this custom property only for an application server that is running in 64-bit mode. If the application server is running in 31-bit mode, then use the protocol_http_large_data_inbound_buffer custom property to set a limit for this inbound buffer.
Information Value
Data Type Integer
Default 0
Used by Daemon No

protocol_http_large_data_response_buffer

Specifies, in bytes, the maximum length of the response buffer that is used for HTTP requests. Responses larger than this value are rejected. Specify a value of 0 if you do not need a large response buffer because all of your HTTP responses are less than 10 MB.

Avoid trouble: This property applies to application servers only. It does not apply to a deployment manager.

protocol_http_resolve_foreign_hostname

Specifies whether to perform Domain Name Server (DNS) resolution of the IP address of a foreign client to a DNS registered host name for each established HTTP session. If this property is set to 1, then the DNS host name resolution is performed. If this property is set to 0, then the DNS host name resolution is not performed, and a textual representation of the IP address of the foreign client is used instead of the DNS host name.

Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Default 0
Used by Daemon Yes

protocol_http_timeout_output_recovery

Specifies the recovery action that is taken when an HTTP request does not complete within a designated length of time. Setting this property to SERVANT allows servants to terminate when a timeout occurs. If an HTTP request is under dispatch in a servant when its timeout value is reached, the servant terminates with an ABEND EC3 RSN=04130007. The HTTP request and socket are then cleaned up. If this property is set to SESSION, no attempt is made to disrupt the processing of a dispatched HTTP request within a servant. However, the HTTP request and socket are still cleaned up. Using the SESSION setting might result in a loss of resources if the dispatched HTTP request loops or becomes inactive.

The timeout_recovery request-level RAS attribute overrides the protocol_http_timeout_output_recovery custom property for HTTP requests. You define the request-level RAS attributes in the workload classification file.

protocol_https_cert_mapping_file

Specifies the name of a file with entries that map IP addresses to server certificate labels. You can set this property at the cell, node, or server level.

Deprecated feature: The protocol_https_cert_mapping_file property is deprecated.

When an HTTP SSL connection request is received, the application server checks the IP address against entries in the file specified for this property. If the application server finds a match, the certificate mapped to the IP address is used for the connection. If the application server does not find a match, it checks the protocol_https_default_cert_label property for the name of a certificate. If a certificate name is specified, the application server uses that certificate to establish the connection. If a certificate name is not specified, the default server certificate specified in the RACF® SSL keyring, that is owned by the application server, is used to establish the HTTP SSL connection.

protocol_https_default_cert_label

Specifies the label of the server certificate that the application server uses to establish HTTP SSL connections with the application server. You can set this property at the cell, node, or server level.

Deprecated feature: The protocol_https_default_cert_label property is deprecated.

If the name of a certificate is note specified for this property, the default server certificate specified in the RACF SSL keyring, that is owned by the application server, is used to establish the HTTP SSL connection.

protocol_https_timeout_output_recovery

Specifies the recovery action that is taken when an HTTPS request does not complete within a designated length of time. Setting this property to SERVANT allows servants to terminate when a timeout occurs. If an HTTPS request is under dispatch in a servant when its timeout value is reached, the servant terminates with an ABEND EC3 RSN=04130007. The HTTPS request and socket are then cleaned up. If this property is set to SESSION, no attempt is made to disrupt the processing of a dispatched HTTPS request within a servant. However, the HTTPS request and socket are still cleaned up. Using the SESSION setting might result in a loss of resources if the dispatched HTTPS request loops or becomes inactive.

The timeout_recovery request-level RAS attribute overrides the protocol_https_timeout_output_recovery custom property for HTTPS requests. You define the request-level RAS attributes in the workload classification file.

Information Value
Default SERVANT

Data Type Integer
Default 10
Used by Daemon Yes

protocol_iiop_enable_wlm_routing

Specifies whether WebSphere Application Server should enable the process that allows it to receive input from the Workload Manager (WLM) to make IIOP routing decisions.

When this property is enabled, WLM sends WebSphere Application Server input that WebSphere Application Server uses to make IIOP routing decisions.

It is recommended that you leave this property enabled. However, because there is a limit to the number of servers than can use this feature on a given LPAR, you might need to disable this property for some of the servers on an LPAR if the servers start experiencing the following error:
BBOO0037E Function IWMSRCRR failed with RC=8, REASON=00000868
.
Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Default 1
Used by Daemon No

protocol_iiop_local_propagate_wlm_enclave

Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Default 1
Used by Daemon No

protocol_iiop_resolve_foreign_hostname

Specifies whether to perform Domain Name Server (DNS) resolution of the IP address of a foreign client to a DNS registered host name for each established IIOP session. If this property is set to 1, then the DNS host name resolution is performed. If this property is set to o, then the DNS host name resolution is not performed, and a textual representation of the IP address of the foreign client is used instead of the DNS host name.

Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Default 1
Used by Daemon Yes

protocol_iiop_resolve_object_url_local

Specifies whether, if possible, the application server resolves the object URLs to a server that is local to the LPAR. By default, the object URL is processed in order and the first server that can be reached is chosen. When this property is set to 1, any servers local to the LPAR are checked first and only if none of those servers are reachable is a resolution attempted to a remote server.

Information Value
Data Type Integer
Default 0
Acceptable values 0 or 1

protocol_jfap_queue_limit

Specifies the number of messages that can reside on the JFAP protocol message queue that is associated with a servant process. This queue is used to hold pending messages that are being sent between the servant process and the controller.

You can specify any positive integer as the value for this property. However, whenever possible, use the default value 0. A value of 0 indicates that the number of messages that can reside in the JFAP protocol message queue is four times the number of dispatch threads in the servant. Therefore, this value provides a calculated limit based on workload, and removes the arbitrary restraints imposed by specifying a specific value for this property.

The number of dispatch threads in the servant is controlled by the ORB services Workload profile setting. See the topic ORB services advanced settings on the z/OS platform for more information about this setting.

Review the topic Configuring MDB throttling for the default messaging provider for a description of how to tune message-driven beans.

protocol_sip_timeout_output_recovery

Specifies the recovery action that is taken when a SIP request does not complete within a designated length of time. Setting this property to SERVANT allows servants to terminate when a timeout occurs. If a SIP request is under dispatch in a servant when its timeout value is reached, the servant terminates with an ABEND EC3 RSN=04130007. The SIP request and socket are then cleaned up. If this property is set to SESSION, no attempt is made to disrupt the processing of a dispatched SIP request within a servant. However, the SIP request and socket are still cleaned up. Using the SESSION setting might result in a loss of resources if the dispatched SIP request loops or becomes inactive.

The timeout_recovery request-level RAS attribute overrides the protocol_sip_timeout_output_recovery custom property for SIP requests. You define the request-level RAS attributes in the workload classification file.

Information Value
Default SERVANT
Used by Daemon No

protocol_sips_timeout_output_recovery

Specifies the recovery action that is taken when a SIPS request does not complete within a designated length of time. Setting this property to SERVANT allows servants to terminate when a timeout occurs. If a SIPS request is under dispatch in a servant when its timeout value is reached, the servant terminates with an ABEND EC3 RSN=04130007. The SIPS request and socket are then cleaned up. If this property is set to SESSION, no attempt is made to disrupt the processing of a dispatched SIPS request within a servant. However, the SIPS request and socket are still cleaned up. Using the SESSION setting might result in a loss of resources if the dispatched SIPS request loops or becomes inactive.

register_ifaedreg_also

Specifies whether you want z/OS to create SMF Type 89 Subtype 2 records, in addition to SMF Type 89 Subtype 1 records. In previous releases of the product, after the product registered with z/OS, z/OS created SMF Type 89 Subtype 2 records to collect product usage data.

For transitioning users: After the product registers with z/OS, z/OS produces SMF Type 89 Subtype 1 records instead of SMF Type 89 Subtype 2 records. If you want to have SMF Type 89 Subtype 2 records created in addition to the SMF Type 89 Subtype 1 records, add the register_ifaedreg_also variable to your WebSphere variables and set this property to 1. To turn off the creation of SMF Type 89 Subtype 2 records, set this variable to 0.

server_dlls_in_hfs

Specifies whether product DLLs are loaded from the Hierarchical File System (HFS) or from the STEPLIB, LPA, or link list.

Information Value
Data type Boolean
Default 1
Used by Daemon Yes

Setting this property to 1 (the default) indicates that the DLLs are loaded from the HFS. Setting this property to 0 indicates that the DLLs are put into the STEPLIB, LPA, or link list.

Tip: You can use the switchModules.sh script to load the DLLs from the HFS into a dataset.

server_region_connect_to_wlm_early

Specifies whether the servant connects to Workload Manager (WLM) at the beginning or the end of servant initialization.

Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Default 0
Used by Daemon No

Setting this property to 1 enables the servant to connect to WLM at the beginning of servant initialization. After the servant connects to WLM, WLM is able to classify asynchronous work that is started during the remainder of the servant initialization process. A consequence of enabling the servant to connect to WLM at the beginning of servant initialization is that when there are multiple servants defined, the servants all start almost concurrently. Concurrent initialization of multiple servants might cause high CPU usage that needs to be considered.

Setting this property to 0 prevents any asynchronous work that is started during servant initialization from being classified by WLM because the servant does not connect to WLM until the end of the servant initialization process.

server_region_cputimeused_dump_action

server_region_request_cputimeused_limit

Specifies, in milliseconds, the amount of CPU time that an application request can consume.

The server_region_request_cputimeused_limit custom property helps you to prevent a single application request from monopolizing the available CPU time because it allows you to limit the amount of CPU time that a single request can use. A CPU monitor is invoked when a request is dispatched. If the request exceeds the specified amount of CPU time, the controller considers the request unresponsive. The controller then issues message BBOO0327 to let the requesting application know that the request was unresponsive.

The monitor that monitors the amount of CPU time that a request is using typically sends a signal to the dispatched thread when the amount of CPU time used exceeds the specified amount. However, there are situations when this signal cannot be delivered, and the request remains pending. For example, if the thread goes native and invokes a PC routine, the signal remains pending until the PC routine returns.

The cputimeused_limit request-level RAS attribute overrides the server_region_request_cputimeused_limit custom property for HTTP, IIOP, SIP, MDB, and optimized local adapter requests. You define the request-level RAS attributes in the workload classification file.

server_region_sip_stalled_thread_dump_action

Specifies the type of dump that is taken when a request is considered unresponsive. After the dump is taken the controller is notified of the unresponsive request. The controller might then terminate the servant based on the values specified for other custom properties, such as server_region_stalled_thread_threshold_percent, control_region_timeout_delay, and control_region_timeout_save_last_servant.

The stalled_thread_dump_action request-level RAS attribute overrides the server_region_sip_stalled_thread_dump_action custom property. You define the request-level RAS attributes in the workload classification file.

server_use_wlm_to_queue_work

Specifies whether WLM is used for workload queuing.

Set this property to 1 if you are using stateless application models. With these models, application objects, such as Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and HTTP sessions, are only resident in memory for the life of an individual request. In this situation, you want WLM to dynamically balance individual requests. This configuration allows linear scalability and consistent, repeatable response times.

Set this property to 0 if you are using conversational application models. With these models, a client might hold, and periodically interact with, a reference to a stateful object which is pinned in the memory of one of the JVMs for time that is greater than the duration of an individual request. For example, the client might be using HTTP sessions, stateful session beans, or entity beans that are maintained in memory instead of being stored in a database or file system between requests, as is done in stateless application models.

Conversational application models prevent WLM from dynamically routing individual requests in a clustered environment because the client has affinity to a specific JVM. In this situation, a round-robin algorithm is used to handle the initial request from the client. This algorithm evenly distributes the creation of long-term affinities and is the best technique for achieving a balanced utilization of system resources in this type of environment. If you set this property to 0 for conversational application models, you must also set the server_work_distribution_algorithm property to 1.

If you prefer, you can use the round-robin capability that WLM provides, instead of the previously described product round-robin capability. The differences between the round-robin capability that WLM provides and the product round-robin capability is explained in the following scenario.

Scenario: A customer starts two clients to talk to a server. The server has two servants, and each servant has multiple threads. The customer expects one client to go to one servant, and the second client to go to the other servant. The behavior of product-provided round-robin that is initiated by specifying server_use_wlm_to_queue_work=0 and server_work_distribution_algorithm=1 adheres to this expectation. However, the WLM-provided round-robin uses up all the threads in the first servant before it starts to use the threads in the next servant. Therefore, in this situation, both clients go to the same servant and the second servant remains idle.

When the server_use_wlm_to_queue_work property is set to 0, the wlm_minimumSRCount and wlm_maximumSRCount properties are set to the same value. Because the work is not going through WLM, WLM only starts the number of servants that are specified for the wlm_minimumSRCount property.

Information Value
0 The z/OS WLM function is not used.
1 The z/OS WLM function is used.

server_work_distribution_algorithm

Specifies the type of work distribution algorithm that the application server uses for workload balancing. This property is only used if the server_use_wlm_to_queue_work property is set to 0. If the server_use_wlm_to_queue_work property is set to 1, then the value specified for this property is ignored.

Information Value
0 The hot thread algorithm is used.

When the hot thread algorithm is used, each new work request is assigned to the first servant that has a thread available to process the request. If none of the servants have an available thread, the request is queued into the global work queue that is shared by all servants. The request is then selected from the global work queue when the next thread becomes available, regardless of which servant owns that thread.

The goal of the hot thread algorithm is to route requests to the fewest number of servants possible. If the number of concurrent requests is not greater than the number of threads in a servant, all requests are processed by the same servant.

1 The round-robin algorithm is used.

When the round-robin algorithm is used, new work requests are distributed evenly across all servants. If all of the servant threads are already processing other work requests, the new request is added to the request queue for a specific servant. The queued request is then selected when it becomes the top request in the queue and a thread becomes available in that servant.

2 The hot robin algorithm is used.

When the hot robin algorithm is used, new work requests are distributed evenly across all servants. If the assigned servant does not have a thread available to process the request, the request is reassigned to another servant that has an available thread. If none of the servants have an available thread, the new request is queued into the global work queue that all of the servants share. The request is then selected from the global work queue when the next thread becomes available, regardless of which servant owns that thread.

suppress_hung_thread_abend

Controls whether an ABENDDC3 or an ABENDSDC3 code is issued when a hung thread is found during the server stop process. This property disables the detection of a hung thread.

When a STOP command is issued for a server, a hung thread might fail to terminate. By default, the application server issues an ABENDDC3 or ABENDSDC3 code with a 000C000B reason code when this condition is encountered to avoid any delays and to provide a diagnostic dump earlier in the shutdown process. If you set this property to 1, the application server does not abend the address space for this reason.

Information Value
Data Type Boolean
Default 0
Used by Daemon No

suppress_hung_thread_dump

Controls whether a dump is taken when an ABENDDC3 or an ABENDSDC3 occurs because a hung thread did not terminate in response to a STOP command.

When a STOP command is issued for a server, a hung thread might fail to terminate, which causes an ABENDDC3 or an ABENDSDC3 to occur with reason code 000C000B. Setting this property to 1 prevents a dump from being taken if this abend occurs.

transaction_recoveryTimeout

Specifies the time, in minutes, that this controller uses to attempt to complete all restarted transactions before issuing a write-to-operator-with-reply (WTOR) message to the console, requesting whether to complete one of the following options:

  • Continue the recovery process.
  • Stop trying to resolve all restart transactions.
  • Write transaction-related information to the job log or hard copy log.
  • Terminate.

If the operator replies to continue the recovery process, then the controller attempts recovery for the specified amount of time before reissuing the write-to-operator message. After all the transactions are resolved, the controller terminates. This variable applies only to controllers that are running in peer restart and recovery mode.

WAS_DAEMON_ONLY_adapter_max_conn

Specifies the maximum number of connections supported for a daemon group. A connection is defined as a local communication connection between a client address space and a server within the daemon group.

As client address spaces register with the optimized local adapter APIs, the number of physical connections that the client address spaces want to make with the WebSphere address space is defined. To prevent the connectors from over-running the WebSphere Application Server with requests, the number of connections across the entire daemon group can be set to a maximum number by specifying the adapter_max_conn variable.

If a subsystem connects to the WebSphere server and requests a number of connections that is the maximum for the daemon group, the register request fails with a reason code that indicates that the maximum number of connections has been reached.

The maximum number of physical connections between the WebSphere Application Server and external address spaces is set on the connection factory.

WAS_DAEMON_ONLY_adapter_max_serv

Specifies support for an optimized local adapter. Support is enabled when this variable is used to start the daemon.

The WebSphere daemon needs to know whether this daemon group is going to support the optimized local adapters, since it manages the shared storage used by the WebSphere server and the associated address spaces. All daemon configuration exists in the was.env file for the daemon. The daemon does not have a JVM. Therefore it does not have access to the WCCM model.

This variable sets the maximum number of adapter outbound services that can be active for a single registration. When the value is not specified, it defaults to 100.

The WebSphere daemon needs to know whether this daemon group is going to support the optimized local adapters, since it manages the shared storage used by the WebSphere server and the associated address spaces. All daemon configuration exists in the was.env file for the daemon. The daemon does not have a JVM, therefore it does not have access to the WCCM model.

This variable sets the maximum size of the adapters shared 64-bit memory for adapters control structures for the daemon group. When this value is not specified, it defaults to 32 M (33554432).

WAS_DAEMON_ONLY_enable_adapter

Specifies support for an optimized local adapter. Support is enabled when this variable is used to start the daemon.

The WebSphere daemon needs to know whether or not this daemon group is going to support the optimized local adapters, since it manages the shared storage used by the WebSphere server and the associated address spaces. All daemon configuration exists in the was.env file for the daemon. The daemon does not have a JVM, therefore it does not have access to the WCCM model.

Set this property to true if you want to start the daemon with this variable and enable support for the optimized local adapters. Set this property to false if you do not want to start the daemon with this variable and enable support for the optimized local adapters.

wlm_ae_spreadmin

Specifies the setting of the AE_SPREADMIN parameter on the IWM4SLIP service, which you use for servant address spaces. The IWM4SLIP service is the application environment limit service for workload management (WLM) on the z/OS system. The AE_SPREADMIN parameter indicates how WLM distributes the minimum number of servants across the service classes being used to process work requests.

  • If you specify 1 for this property, the application server sets the AE_SPREADMIN parameter to YES. WLM distributes the number of servants specified on the Minimum Number of Instances field as evenly as possible to all service classes being used to run work requests.
  • If you specify 0 for this property, the application server sets the AE_SPREADMIN parameter to NO. WLM distributes the number of servants specified on the Minimum Number of Instances to service classes as needed in order to meet goals.

Read the topic on controlling the minimum and maximum number of servants for more information about setting the Minimum Number of Instances field.

wlm_classification_file

Specifies the location of your workload classification document. You can set this property at the cell, node, or server level.

The workload classification document is a common XML file that classifies inbound HTTP, IIOP, and message-driven bean (MDB) work. Any rules that are defined in this XML file override the old format HTTP classification. The rules in the common XML file also override any rules that are in the MDB classification file defined by the endpoint_config_file property.

For example, your configuration has the common XML file defined in a server that also has the old format HTTP classification document specified. There are no HTTP classification rules defined in your common XML file, so the old format file is used to classify inbound HTTP requests. However, if your common XML file contains HTTP rules, these classification rules are used instead of classification rules that you defined in the old style HTTP classification document.

wlm_enclavecreate_exstartdefer

Specifies the value that you want used for the Workload Management Service EXSTARTDEFER parameter when you use the IWMECREA Workload Management Service to create an Enclave.

The supported values are YES and NO.
  • Specifying YES indicates that the Enclave execution start time should begin when the first IWMSTBGN or IWMEJOIN is executed.
  • Specifying NO indicates that the Enclave execution start time should not begin when the first IWMSTBGN or IWMEJOIN is executed.

wlm_health_interval

Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, between calls to the z/OS Workload Managers Health API (IWM4HLTH).

The health value provided increments for each call to the WLM health API by the value specified for the wlm_health_increment custom property. If the value for the wlm_health_interval custom property is 0, an increment value of 100 is used when updating the servers health value. The initial health value of the server is set to 0 during initialization. The servers health value is updated at the intervals defined by the value specified for the wlm_health_interval custom property. The first interval starts when the deferred listeners for the server are started. See the description of the protocol_accept_http_work_after_min_srs custom property for additional information.

wlm_servant_start_parallel

Specifies how a server that is configured to start more than one servant address space starts these address spaces.

  • If you specify 1for this property, then the server starts the first servant address space. After the first servant is completely initialized, the server then starts the remaining address spaces in parallel, which means that these remaining servant address spaces are all started at the same time.
  • If you specify 0 for this property, then the server starts all the address spaces sequentially, which means that a servant address space must be completely initialized before the next servant address space is started.
Avoid trouble: This property requires z/WLM support. Therefore, before specifying this property, verify that you are running the product on z/OS Version 1, Release 9 or higher. If you are running the product on an earlier z/OS, specifying this property has no effect.
