Create a shared configuration file

Create a shared configuration file so that servers in the HA environment can share common elements.

About this task

zosConnect-2.0 Applies to zosConnect-2.0.

To ensure that both servers in the HA environment can handle the same workload, some elements from the server.xml file for each server are shared from a common configuration file. Configuration elements that are unique to a server are defined in a separate server.xml file.

Procedure

  1. Create directories under /var/zosconnect to store the shared configuration file.
    For example, run the following command from the /var/zosconnect directory.
    mkdir -p shared/config
  2. Move the current server.xml file that is used by haserver1 to the shared configuration directory and rename it to haserver.xml.
    For example, run the following command as a single line:
    mv /var/zosconnect/servers/haserver1/server.xml
    /var/zosconnect/shared/config/haserver.xml
  3. Create a file named server.xml for haserver1 in the /var/zosconnect/servers/haserver1 directory with the following elements: 
    
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server description="z/OS Connect HA server1">
   <include location="${shared.config.dir}/haserver.xml"/>
</server>
    This configuration file includes the shared haserver.xml by using the Liberty property ${shared.config.dir} to reference the directory that contains the shared configuration files. This property points to the directory WLP_USER_DIR/shared/config.
