Configuring the properties files for the utility

The operations of the data setup utility (DSU) are controlled by a set of workbooks. DSU properties files are used to specify the workbooks used for each DSU operation. The properties files also contain general information the DSU needs to run.

A properties file contains information that controls the behavior of the utility for a specific DSU operation. This includes, but is not limited to, information about:
  • accessing the FTM database
  • the workbooks that are used for the operation
  • working with Business Rules releases
  • creating log and trace information

Before running the DSU, verify that the properties files being used have correct values for the properties.

The following sections describe the properties that are available and the properties that are normally changed.
