Configuration File PCDStartup.Properties 

File pcdStartUp.properties contains all the configuration parameters for the PCD. You therefore have to make all your settings for the PCD in this file. These configuration parameters refer for example to the following areas: PCD trace, lock service, generic layer, ACL service, transport service and migration.

You only activate write-protect mode with the Visual Administrator. For more information see Setting Write-Protect Mode for the PCD.

File pcdStartUp.properties is created automatically the first time the portal is started (after installation). Most of the configuration parameters of the file already contain default values. You can check these default values and enter your own values for various parameters if you like.

You must make changes to file pcdStartUp.properties directly in the file on the J2EE Engine. There is no UI for changing the configuration parameters in the portal. In the portal, however, you can check the configuration parameters and load the configuration again.

File pcdStartUp.template.properties exists in parallel to file pcdStartUp.properties. This file is shipped as part of the IRJ Web Application. File pcdStartUp.template.properties contains a list of the possible configuration parameters and explanations about the parameters that you can define for the PCD. You should therefore use this file if you need explanations of the parameters.

Settings in file pcd.Startup.template.properties have no affect on the PCD configuration.

The first time you start up the portal, the PCD configuration service checks if file pcdStartUp.properties is stored in directory <pcd.home>/pcd.Startup.properties. If it does not exist, it is created by generating a copy of file pcdStartup.template.properties.

All PCD configuration parameters can also be defined as system properties. Settings that are defined as system properties always overwrite the settings in file pcdStartUp.properties.
