Setting CA IDMS Server Options as Properties

Any option that can be specified in the registry or configuration file can be specified in the properties file, or even as a system property. There are also options that can only be specified as properties. To specify a configuration file option in the properties file, prefix the key name with the section name. To specify a property as a system property, prefix it with ca.idms.

For example, you can enable the global JDBC trace in caidms.cfg on z/OS using the following:

[Options]
JdbcTrace=1

This can also be specified in the caidms.properties file as:

Options.JdbcTrace=1

Or it can be specified as a system property as an argument to the java launcher with:

-Dca.idms.Options.JdbcTrace=1

An option value specified in the registry or configuration file overrides the value specified in the properties file, which in turn overrides the value specified as a system property.
