14.1 Properties File

Although the properties file is usually set up during installation, it may need editing during the life of the system.

Any changes to it will require a restart of the Tomcat service to take effect.

The properties.xml file can be found in the <installation_directory>\webapps\ServiceSWAT\conf\ directory of the ServiceSWAT installation.

The property file is in XML format and is split into several sections.

<swat>
  <!-- Database connection section -->
  <database/>
  <!-- Paths section - defines paths for various entities -->
  <paths/>
  <!-- Services section - defines configuration information for ServiceManager and ServiceOptimizer services -->
  <services/>
  <!-- SOAP section - defines options to be used when communicating with ServiceOptimizer SOAP Interface -->
  <soap/>
  <!-- Misc section - defines variables to be used with various ServicePower applications-->
  <misc/>
</swat>
