I work at Vegard IT GmbH as a senior consultant with a focus on collaboration software, Kubernetes, security and automation. I mainly deal with HCL Connections, WebSphere Application Server, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform and Linux.

Sometimes my daily work results in technical talks and blog articles, which you can follow here more or less regularly. You can find the presentations in the main menu under public speaking .

I created a list of tools I use regularly, most of which have been released under an open source license.

In my spare time I read a lot, test all kinds of technical software and gadgets and try to follow about 200 RSS feeds.
Here you can find a collection of them.

This is my private blog, all opinions are my own.

New version of “Administration Scripts for WebSphere”

As preparation for Social Connections VI in Prague next week i redesigned the Administration Scripts for IBM Websphere .

Some highlights:

  • all scripts are moved to a subfolder with DMGR/bin (folder name: ibmcnx)

  • tested in multinode environments

I searched a way to make these through wsadmin with a jython script and after some testing i wrote one, which set all parameters for the Connections DataSources as described in IBM Connections 4 Performance Tuning Guide .

I set StatementCacheSize, minConnections and maxConnections with this script.
