Configuring the Portal Runtime (SAP Library

Configuring the Portal Runtime

Some Portal Runtime properties are defined in properties files (file properties), and others are modified using the Visual Administration tool of the AS Java (J2EE properties).

Note

After changing any property, restart the portal irj application. For more information, see Starting and Stopping.

File Properties

To set the following properties, modify the prtCentral.properties.BAK file, located in the /root/WEB-INF/portal/system/properties folder of the portal irj application.

After modifying properties, remove the .BAK extension on the file, and restart the portal.

For more information on restarting the portal, see Starting and Stopping.
