Appendix B - Custom Property Files

You can use two other property files for your custom properties:

• local.properties
• site.properties

Site properties can be stored at the test server, which automatically pushes the site.properties file to all workstations that connect to it.

Properties files are evaluated in the following precedence: Command line and vmoptions files always take precedence over properties files. Then, local.properties take precedence over site.properties, which takes precedence over lisa.properties.

Note: When DevTest Workstation is started, you are prompted to connect to a registry. After the registry is connected, a site.properties is sent to the workstation. If you switch the registry and change from Registry1 to Registry2, the site.properties from Registry2 is sent to the workstation.

To use a custom property file:

1. Go to the LISA_HOME directory.
2. Copy the _site.properties or _local.properties file and paste it in the same directory.
3. Change the name of the file that you pasted to site.properties or local.properties (without the leading underscore).
