Conf.properties File

The configuration properties file is a text file that includes a list of parameters and associated values. Data Archive reads the configuration file to determine settings related to archive and partitioning activities, system-wide properties, and Data Archive functional settings.

The Data Archive installation directory contains a template of the configuration properties file called

conf.properties.default

. Copy this template, rename it

conf.properties

, and configure it based on your environment.

After you update

conf.properties

, restart the ILM application server for the changes to take effect.
