Configuring Server Properties 

The Design Time Repository (DTR)  server is installed with some default properties, which affect the way the repository is managed. There are certain server properties, which can be modified at the runtime of the server. These properties are specified in the file \\ws\system\config\active\registry\repository.properties.

The properties can be changed by editing the file. By default, the server is polled every 30 seconds to check for any change in this file. If a change of properties is encountered in the file, the changed properties are reapplied to the server and the server runs with the changed properties.

The properties that can be changed while the server is running are:

●      Background Tasks

●      Delta Storage Parameters

We recommend that all applications on one server use the same connection pool. During installation, the DTR asks for the alias for the connection pool. Therefore, you cannot set its size in the DTR properties.

Properties of background tasks that can be configured:

●      Start time of the task

●      Number of concurrent threads running the task on the same VM

●      Maximum runtime of task in seconds. When this time expires, the task is stopped if it hasn’t already stopped on its own.

●      Task restart interval, specified in units specified.

●      Interval units as defined in calendar constants (SECOND, MINUTE, HOUR…)

●      Unique task name. This name is used for stopping the task when required.

●      Parameter to specify if a new task is required for every server (VM) in a cluster. If this parameter is set to false, a new task is required to be started for every server in a cluster. If it is set to true, the task is started on exactly one server in a cluster.
