Overview

Shared configuration properties are system configuration values that are used across all servers in an EnterWorks installation, such as file paths, database connections, and security settings. Some of these properties are stored in the EPIM database and are accessible in the Classic UI's Shared Configuration List. The rest of the properties are stored in the sharedConfig.properties files located in several different folders.

Anytime shared configuration properties are edited in the EPIM database, you must clear the cache. Anytime sharedConfig.properties files are edited, you must restart all EnterWorks services.

Warning: EnterWorks has multiple sharedConfig.properties files, in various folders, on various servers. These files each have some settings that are unique to that file. Do NOT copy one sharedConfig.properties file over another. When you need to update sharedConfig.properties files, edit each file individually.

Some properties may be different in each sharedConfig.properties file, including the following:

Property Description
jboss.context.url

Defines the server on which the process resides and the port number on which it listens:

  • 8034 – Tomcat and Controller
  • 8x34 – Worker (where x is the worker number)
epim.connection.url Potentially different on each server if the appName property is set so that each connection to the EPIM database can be traced to the specific process.
debug.file.prefix

Prefix for the debug log file for the process.

  • enable_webController
  • enable_appController
  • enable_appWorker<n>
job.controller.type

Type of process:

  • 0 – Tomcat. If there are no workers, use this for WildflyController, also.
  • 1 – If there are workers, use this for Wildfly Controller.
  • 2 – WildflyWorker

      • EnableServerTomcat

      • EnableServerWildflyController

      • EnableServerWildflyWorker<n>

      search the folder: 
      <drive>:\Enterworks\EnableServer
