You can enable or disable automatic generation of Profiles
statistics files. By default, automatic generation is enabled.
Before you begin
To edit configuration files, you must
use the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server wsadmin client.
See Starting the wsadmin
client for information about how to start the wsadmin command-line
tool.
About this task
Usage statistics are stored in memory and saved to the file
system during Profiles shutdown. The statistics are saved to the location
configured in the statistics.filePath and statistics.fileName files.
The statistics logged depend on the Profiles capabilities that are
enabled. For example, if you disable the full report-to chain cache,
you do not see statistics listed for that capability.
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin client from the following
directory of the system on which you installed the Deployment Manager:
app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
where
app_server_root is
the WebSphere Application
Server installation directory and
dm_profile_root is
the Deployment Manager profile directory, typically dmgr01.
You
must start the client from this directory or subsequent commands that
you enter do not execute correctly.
- Start the Profiles Jython script interpreter.
- Enter the following command
to access the Profiles configuration files:
execfile("profilesAdmin.py") If
prompted to specify a service to connect to, type 1 to pick the first
node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If the command
writes or reads information to or from a file using a local file path,
you must pick the node where the file is stored.
- Enter the following command
to check out the Profiles configuration files:
ProfilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory",
"cell_name" where:
- working_directory is the temporary working directory to which the
configuration XML and XSD files are copied and are stored while you make changes to them. Use
forward slashes (/) to separate directories in the file path, regardless of your operating
system.
Note: In order for the command to complete successfully, the directory must
grant write permissions if you are using one of the following operating systems:
- cell_name is the name of the WebSphere Application Server cell hosting
the Profiles application. This argument is required. It is also case-sensitive.
If you do not know the cell name, you can determine it by typing the
following command in the wsadmin command processor: print
AdminControl.getCell()
For example:
- AIX or Linux:
ProfilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/prof/temp","foo01Cell01")
- Microsoft
Windows:
ProfilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("c:/prof/temp","foo01Cell01")
- In the working_directory from Step 2,
locate and open the profiles-config.xml file
using a text editor. Scroll to task StatsCollectorTask in
the <scheduledTasks> section.
- To disable auto generation of the statistics file, specify enabled="false" in
the StatsCollectorTask statement.
- To enable auto generation of the statistics file, specify enabled="true" in
the StatsCollectorTask statement.
Example:
<task name="StatsCollectorTask" interval="0 0 1 * * ?" enabled="false" type="internal" scope="local">
<args>
<property name="filePath">${PROFILES_STATS_DIR}//LC_NODE_NAME//${WAS_SERVER_NAME}</property>
<property name="fileName">profilesStats</property>
</args>
</task>
- After making changes, you must check the configuration
files back in, and you must do so during the same wsadmin session
in which you checked them out for the changes to take effect. See Applying
property changes in Profiles for information about how to save
and apply your changes.
