Modifying MBean attributes in the Site Configuration window

You can modify some MBean attributes for Rational® ClearQuest® Web server by using the Web Server Options page of the Site Configuration window.

The Rational ClearQuest Web server MBean attributes have default values that are suitable for most deployments. As you use Rational ClearQuest Web, you might want to modify some of the options in the MBeans to fine-tune performance. For example, some environments allow for higher thresholds and longer run times for backend processes, so these processes might require less frequent recycling.

The Rational ClearQuest Web application provides an administrative interface to some Rational ClearQuest Web server MBeans. Click Site Administration > Configuration and select the Rational ClearQuest Web Server Options tab. You can fine tune the MBean attributes described in Table 1.

Table 1. . Modifiable MBean attributes in the Site Configuration window
MBean attribute Description
Session timeout The amount of time, in seconds, that a user session exists before it times out.
Server work thread count The number of worker threads that each Rational ClearQuest RPC server uses to handle requests.
Active HTTP session threshold The number of sessions a single Rational ClearQuest RPC server can handle. When this threshold is exceeded, a new Rational ClearQuest RPC server is created to handle requests.
Maximum active servers The maximum number of Rational ClearQuest RPC servers allowed.
Recycle server HTTP session limit The maximum number of sessions the Rational ClearQuest RPC server can handle before it is recycled.
Recycle server lifetime limit The maximum lifetime, in seconds, of a Rational ClearQuest RPC server before it is recycled.
Recycle server ONC RPC call limit The maximum number of ONC RPC requests that a backend Rational ClearQuest RPC server can process before it is recycled.

Alternatively, you can change these MBean attributes by using the WebSphere® wsadmin command-line tool and Jacl scripting. See Modifying MBean attributes with the wsadmin tool.
