You can modify TCP proxies by using either the administration console or the CLI.
Note:
When you modify a TCP Proxy, you are, in effect, modifying a configuration. So for the new settings of the TCP Proxy to take effect in the Oracle Traffic Director instances, you should redeploy the configuration as described in Section 4.3, "Deploying a Configuration."
The CLI examples in this section are shown in shell mode (tadm>). For information about invoking the CLI shell, see Section 2.3.1, "Accessing the Command-Line Interface."
Modifying a TCP Proxy Using the Administration Console
To modify a TCP Proxy by using the administration console, do the following:
Log in to the administration console, as described in Section 2.3.2, "Accessing the Administration Console."
Click the Configurations button that is situated at the upper left corner of the page.
A list of the available configurations is displayed.
Select the configuration for which you want to modify TCP proxies.
In the navigation pane, select TCP Proxies.
The TCP Proxies page is displayed. It shows a list of the TCP proxies defined for the configuration.
Click the name of the TCP Proxy that you want to modify.
The TCP Proxy Settings page is displayed. On this page, you can do the following:
Enable and disable the TCP Proxy.
Change the origin server pool and idle timeout.
Add and remove TCP listeners. For information about creating TCP listeners, see Section 10.1, "Creating a Listener."
Specify the parameters that you want to change.
On-screen help and prompts are provided for all of the parameters.
When you change the value in a field or tab out of a text field that you changed, the Save button near the upper right corner of the page is enabled.
At any time, you can discard the changes by clicking the Reset button.
After making the required changes, click Save.
A message, confirming that the updated proxy was saved, is displayed in the Console Messages pane.
In addition, the Deployment Pending message is displayed at the top of the main pane. You can either deploy the updated configuration immediately by clicking Deploy Changes, or you can do so later after making further changes as described in Section 4.3, "Deploying a Configuration."
Modifying a TCP Proxy Using the CLI
To change the properties of a TCP Proxy, run the set-tcp-proxy-prop command. For example, the following command changes the session idle timeout of the proxy tcp_proxy1 in the configuration soa to 500.
tadm> set-tcp-proxy-prop --config=soa --tcp-proxy=tcp_proxy1 session-idle-timeout=500 OTD-70201 Command 'set-tcp-proxy-prop' ran successfully.
For the updated configuration to take effect, you should deploy it to the Oracle Traffic Director instances by using the deploy-config command.
For a list of the properties that you can set or change by using the set-tcp-proxy-prop commands, see the Oracle Traffic Director Command-Line Reference or run the commands with the --help option.
