Path to directory or file:
The / (slash) is not a special character and can be used unescaped. This allows Linux paths and also Windows path to be written in to the configuration file as is.
The \ (backslash), however, needs to be escaped as it is interpreted as escape character. So to use when using Windows paths in the configuration file with backslash, it must be escaped to \\ (double backslash) needs to be used for each backslash in Windows paths.
| Info |
|---|
Note: In container deployment, Windows path with drive letters or backslashes are not allowed. |
Examples:
| Code Block |
|---|
# A Linux path Directory=/var/coreoftia/config # A Windows pathpaths Directory=C:\\test\\repository Directory2=C:/test/repository2 # A UNC path Directory=\\\\10.9.8.7\\ARCHIVE |
Impact position of parameter in repository.cfg file
The position of a parameter in the repository.cfg file has NO IMPACT.
The two example configurations below result in identical configuration: The property retention.type for repository SF is "none".
Example 1:
| Code Block |
|---|
SF.template = config_all_REPO
SF.retention.type=none
config_all_REPO.retention.type=adretention |
Example 2:
| Code Block |
|---|
SF.template = config_all_REPO
config_all_REPO.retention.type=adretention
SF.retention.type=none |
There is one exception:
If the parameter names (left side of “=” character) are identically, the line appearing last will rule.
