configuration file (wc-server.xml)
Many aspects of the runtime application are configured in an XML file. This XML file is located inside the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition EAR.
The wc-server.xml file is located in the following directories:
- WC_eardir/xml/config/
Modifying wc-server.xml
runs its Transaction server inside a Docker container. Containerized
servers reset their contents to their preset state every time the server is restarted. This
means that you cannot directly edit the wc-server.xml configuration file
in a running container and expect the changes to be preserved when the container is restarted.
You can modify the wc-server.xml configuration file using a couple of
methods:
- Use Run Engine commands that modify specific features of the file in a running container, or set them to run on deployment. For available Run Engine commands, see Transaction server Run Engine commands.
- Build a new container image that includes changes to the file.
- Open for editing the copy of the wc-server.xml configuration file in your development environment, workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\wc-server.xml.
- Modify the file according to whatever instructions you are following. Once you have updated the file, save it in place, or check it into your code repository.
- Deploy the new file to the Transaction server using the CI/CD pipeline. .
- Build the new Docker container.
