Notes
|
| /Root/Server | loadAndLockVHost | String | myVHost | Name of Virtual Host on which to load the applications. This string is needed only if there are custom Virtual Hosts. (default: _defaultVHost_) |
| /Root/Server | loadAndLockApplications | String | live1, live2, live3/myInstance | Comma-separated list of applications and application instance names to load. If the default application instance (_definst_) is to be loaded, then you can use the application name without the application instance name. For example, the value live1, live2, live3/myInstance loads the default application instance on the live1 and live2 applications and loads an application instance named myInstance on the live3 application. |
Usage
Specify the applications and application instances that you want to load for each virtual host by leveraging the appropriate properties above.
