Overview

Manages changes to the configuration of the current WebLogic Server domain. The operations in this MBean start and stop edit sessions, save, undo, and activate configuration changes.

The general process for changing the configuration of a domain is as follows:

  1. Use this MBean's startEdit() operation to start an edit session.

    When you start an edit session, WebLogic Server locks other users from editing the pending configuration MBean hierarchy. If two users start an edit session under the same user identity, changes from both users are collected into a single set of changes.

    The operation returns the pending DomainMBean, which is the root of the configuration MBean hierarchy.

  2. Navigate to an MBean and change the value of its attributes or add or remove a child MBean.

  3. Save your changes.

    Your saved changes are written to the domain's pending configuration files.

  4. (Optional) Make additional changes or undo the changes.

  5. Use this MBean's activate() operation to activate the saved changes.

    When you activate, the changes are propagated to all the servers in the domain and applied to the running configuration.

      Attributes

      This section describes the following attributes:


      Changes

      Contains Change objects for all of the unsaved changes in the current edit session. Each change to an MBean attribute is represented in its own Change object.

             
      Privileges Read only
      Typeinterface weblogic.management.mbeanservers.edit.Change[]
      Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

      CompletedActivationTasksCount

      The maximum number of ActivationTaskMBeans that WebLogic Server keeps in memory.

      Each ActivationTaskMBean contains one Change object for each change that was activated. The MBean and its Change objects describe which user activated the changes, when the changes were activated, and which MBean attributes were modified.

      WebLogic Server does not save this data to disk, and therefore it is not available across sessions of the Administration Server.

      Because a large collection of ActivationTaskMBeans could potentially use a significant amount of memory, the default number is 10.

      Operations

      This section describes the following operations:


      activate

      Activates the changes that have been saved to the pending configuration files.

      To activate changes, WebLogic Server copies the pending configuration files to a pending directory within each server instance's root directory. Each server instance determines whether it can consume the changes. If all servers can, then the pending configuration files become the active configuration files and the in-memory hierarchy of active configuration MBeans is updated for each server.

      If any server is unable to consume the change, then the activation fails for all servers. All saved changes remain in the pending configuration files and can be activated later.

         
      Operation Name"activate"
      ParametersObject [] {  timeout }

      where:

      • timeout is an object of type java.lang.Long that specifies:

        long that contains the time (milliseconds) for the operation to complete. If the elasped time exceeds that value, then the activation of the configuration changes will be canceled. If -1, then the activation will not timeout. If a non-zero timeout is specified, then the activate will wait until the activate operation has completed or until the timeout period has elasped. If a zero timeout is specified, then the activate will return immediately and the caller can wait for completion using the ActivationTaskMBean.

      SignatureString [] { "java.lang.Long" }
      ReturnsActivationTaskMBean
      Exceptions
      • weblogic.management.mbeanservers.edit.NotEditorException
        NotEditorException thrown if the caller did not start the current edit session.

      cancelEdit

      Cancels the current edit session, releases the edit lock, and enables other users to start an edit session. Any unsaved changes are discarded.

      This operation can be called by any user with administrator privileges, even if the user is not the one who started the edit session. Use this operation to cancel an edit session when the current editor can not be contacted to stop an edit session and release the lock.

         
      Operation Name"cancelEdit"
      Parametersnull
      Signaturenull
      Returns void

      getChangesToDestroyBean

      Contains Change objects for the changes required to destroy the specified instance of a configuration bean. Each change to an MBean attribute is represented in its own Change object.

         
      Operation Name"getChangesToDestroyBean"
      ParametersObject [] {  configurationMBean }

      where:

      • configurationMBean is an object of type weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorBean that specifies:

        configurationMBean

      SignatureString [] { "weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorBean" }
      Returns class

      haveUnactivatedChanges

      Returns true if any changes (saved or unsaved) have been made since the activate operation completed successfully. This includes any changes that have been saved but not activated in the current and previous edit sessions.

         
      Operation Name"haveUnactivatedChanges"
      Parametersnull
      Signaturenull

      Operation Name"removeReferencesToBean"
      ParametersObject [] {  configurationMBean }

      where:

      • configurationMBean is an object of type weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorBean that specifies:

        NotEditorException thrown if the caller did not start the current edit session.

      save

      Validates unsaved changes and saves them to the pending configuration files on disk.

         
      Operation Name"save"
      Parametersnull
      Signaturenull
      Returns void
      Exceptions
      • weblogic.management.mbeanservers.edit.NotEditorException

      • weblogic.management.mbeanservers.edit.ValidationException
        ValidationException thrown if an validation error occurs while saving changes.

      startEdit

      Starts an edit session on behalf of the currently authenticated user and prevents other users from editing the configuration for the duration of the session. A user must call this operation before modifying the configuration of the domain.

      Prevents multiple users or processes from starting an edit session under the same user identity.

         
      Operation Name"startEdit"
      ParametersObject [] {  waitTimeInMillistimeOutInMillisexclusive }

      where:

      • waitTimeInMillis is an object of type java.lang.Integer that specifies:

        Prevents other uses from starting an edit session until waitTimeInMillis expires, edits are activated, or the edit session is stopped. If the value of waitTimeInMillis is 0 and an edit session is active, this operation returns immediately. To block indefinitely, specify a value of -1.

      • timeOutInMillis is an object of type java.lang.Integer that specifies:

        Specifies the number of milliseconds after which the lock on the configuration is no longer guaranteed. This time out is enforced lazily. If no other user starts an edit session after the timeout expires, the unsaved changes are left intact and may be saved. If another user starts an edit session after the timeout expires, unsaved changes are automatically reverted and the lock is given to that new user. Specify a value of -1 to indicate that you do not want the edit to time out. In this case, if you do not stop your edit session, only an administrator can stop the edit session by invokeing the cancelEdit operation.

      • exclusive is an object of type java.lang.Boolean that specifies:

        Specifies whether the edit session should be exclusive. An edit session will cause a subsequent call to startEdit by the same owner to wait until the edit session lock is released.

      SignatureString [] { "java.lang.Integer", "java.lang.Integer", "java.lang.Boolean" }
      ReturnsDomainMBean
      Exceptions
      • weblogic.management.mbeanservers.edit.EditTimedOutException
        EditTimedOutException thrown when the start edit request times out because the wait time has elasped and another user still has the edit session.

      startEdit

      Starts an edit session on behalf of the currently authenticated user and prevents other users from editing the configuration for the duration of the session. A user must call this operation before modifying the configuration of the domain.

      If two users or processes start an edit session under the same user identity, changes from both users are collected into a single set of changes.

      validate

      Verifies that all unsaved changes satisfy dependencies between MBean attributes and makes other checks that cannot be made at the time that you set the value of a single attribute.

      The save operation also validates changes, but you can use this (validate) operation to check that changes are valid before saving them.

         
      Operation Name"validate"
      Parametersnull
      Signaturenull
