Overriding values in properties files

The customer_overrides.properties file contains name-value pairs that either provide values or override existing values in ITXA properties files.

About this task

Properties are set during the deployment process and their values generally do not need to be changed.. However, you can edit the customer_overrides.properties file to set overrides when necessary, and those override values persist when software updates are applied.

The customer_overrides.properties file is located under the installation directory.

Clustered installations: In a clustered installation, there is a separate customer_overrides.properties file for each node.

Procedure

  1. Locate the customer_overrides.properties file for your installation.
  2. Edit the file to set properties for functions such as setting logging levels or purging documents once they are no longer needed, or to tune performance. Prepend the property with the name of the properties file where the property is located.
    Example: The
    Example: The minimumAsyncChildThreads property is located in the spe.properties file. An entry in the customer_overrides.properties file to increase that minimum might appear as follows:
    spe.minimumAsyncChildThreads=15
