Chapter 3: Partitions 21
Running Partitions
Running managed Partitions
Managed Partitions are started when the configuration to which they belong
starts. Typically the Partition starts according to a default mechanism, but you
can configure additional command-line options to be passed at creation-time.
Or, you can edit configuration.xml. Open the file, search for <partition-
process>, and find the <arguments> data block. Insert new command-line
arguments within <argument> tags.
Partition logging
The Partition uses log4j for its logging mechanism. It is configured using a
DOMConfigurator from the file <partitionpath>/adm/properties/
logConfiguration.xml. The default configuration is to log in an XML layout to
rolling log files in <partitionpath>/adm/logs. The Partition logConfiguration.xml
file is monitored for updates with a default check interval of 1 minute. See
previous table of Partition options for information about configuring the
configuration file and monitor check interval.
-Dpartition.management_domain.port Sets the Management ORB Smart
Agent port. Default 42424.
Typically used by a parent controlling
process, such as the SCU.
-DTomcatLoaderDebug Sets the Web Container debug level.
Default 0 (zero).
