Configuring properties by using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console
When you configure event runtime properties (for example, if you move the event runtime to a different database manager, or you want to change to a different JMS messaging provider), you can make the changes in WebSphere Application Server administrative console. When you edit the value of a property, ensure that the value is appropriate and spelled correctly because it is not validated.

Configuring properties by using the wsadmin scripting tool
When you configure event runtime properties (for example, if you move the event runtime to a different database manager, or you want to change to a different JMS messaging provider), you can make the changes by using the WebSphere Application Server administrative scripting tool, wsadmin. You can modify the properties by using wsadmin, or you can use the supplied AdminTask object to set a single property.

Configuring properties by using the Properties tool
Settings for system properties are stored in an encrypted properties file. The file is managed through the use of the Properties tool or the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. When using the Properties tool, properties are displayed by folder, and most folders contain subsections that consist of groups of related properties.
