Administrative tasks

Administrative tasks for UA include the topics included in this guide, as well as the following:

• Setting the session time out value in web.xml.

• Configuring web service connections for applications, such as SAP and Peoplesoft.

• Adding JNDI database connections in web.xml and server.xml, as described in “Creating a new JNDI data source resource”.

• Configuring datapool connections for other databases. See “Database property group” and “Database property-specific parameters” for ASA and ASE.

• Configuring Common Security Infrastructure (CSI) for your environment. See Chapter 6, “Security” for security information, and see the Unwired Accelerator Installation Guide for information about using LDAP, or a combination of CSI and LDAP.

• Clean up the PortalDB by removing agents/alerts associated with deleted users, as well as templates, applications, pages, and so forth. See “Cleaning up the PortalDB”.

Setting session length

Session information is controlled by Unwired Accelerator. If you are using BlackBerry, the MDS/BES server holds the cookies that contain the JSESSIONID that Tomcat uses to keep track of sessions.

1. Open web.xml in a text editor. This file is located in SYBASE\tomcat\conf.

2. Search for Default Session Configuration.

3. Change the <session-timeout> value to the desired number of minutes. The default is 30, meaning the session times out after 30 minutes of disuse.

   <session-config>    <session-timeout>30</session-timeout> </session-config>

4. Save the file and close the text editor.

5. Restart the database server and the application server.

Configuring web service connections

You must also set the WebServiceRoot property in the UWP property group.

1. Open webservices.properties.xml in a text editor. This file is located in SYBASE\tomcat\webapps\onepage\config if you are using Tomcat. If you are using EAServer it is located in SYBASE\EAServer\Repository\WebApplication\onepage\config.

2. Search for these properties, and change them if you want:

   • ArraySize1 – the default array size.

   • WSCache – indicates whether to use caching for processed complexTypes and definitions of wsdl

   • DefaultExpireLength – the default expiration length for cached WS elements

   Following are the defaults:

   <Properties name="Properties">
   <Property name="ArraySize1" value="2"
      description=”default array size"/>
   
   	<Property name="WSCache" value="true"
      description="(true/false)' true to turn on
      caching for processed complexTypes and
      definitions of wsdl"/>
   
   	<Property name="DefaultExpireLength"    value="259200000" description="default expire
      length for cached WS element, e.g., 3 days"/>
   

3. Save and close the file.

4. Restart the application server to put the changes into effect.
