CA IDMS Server can use a standard Java properties file for configuration information on all platforms. A Java properties file is simply a text file where each property consists of a key name and value, separated by an equal sign (=). Comments can be included by prefacing them with a pound sign (#).
The properties file can include JDBC driver and JDBC server options which previously could be specified only in the configuration file. This allows Java options to be specified in a consistent format on all platforms, including those where the native methods are not implemented. Because the native methods do not use Java properties files, options that they use must be specified in the registry or configuration file.
The default name of the properties file is caidms.properties. You can override this name by specifying a system property, ca.idms.properties=filename. The Java class loader loads the file using the same rules for loading classes, so the properties file must be located in a directory included in the CLASSPATH. If more than one properties file exists, the first one found in the CLASSPATH directory list is loaded.
A sample properties file is installed in the product installation directory.
