Using the customer_overrides.properties file

The sandbox.cfg parameters let you change the properties defined with variables.

However, if you need to change the value of a property that is not parameterized in the .in file(s), you can override that property by creating a special file called customer_overrides.properties.

For each property that you want to override, you must have the following information:

  • PROPERTY_FILE_NAME_PREFIX - Name used in the servers.properties file to reference the actual property file.
  • PROPERTY_NAME - The name of the property as used in the specified property file.
  • PROPERTY_VALUE - The value you want to assign to the property.

These values are used to create an entry in customer_overrides.properties that looks similar to the following example:

PROPERTY_FILE_NAME_PREFIX.PROPERTY_NAME=PROPERTY_VALUE
