tia Core tia® Content Server core has two main places for configuration:

Application wide settings

Application-wide settings are made depending on the choosen type of deployment:

  • Environmental variables: This method is useful for containerized deployments as environmental variables can be defined in the container configuration.

Example for environmental variables in a docker command:

Code Block
docker run 
 [..]
 -e TIA_LICENSE_PATH=/application/config/tialic 
 -e WEBAPP_SECURITY_AUTH_BASIC_USERNAME=admin 
 -e WEBAPP_SECURITY_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD=\$2a\$10\$JKRQvv.bCNjlyLoBqORAq.79SlwpD8h9nWoo9ss35vt2Pi11KJ2B.
 [..]

  • In context.xml file: This is useful for a war-file deployment in a web application server. This file can be found (or if not create it) in the <webappserver>/WEB-INF/<web context>/META-INF directory.

Example for context.xml:

Code Block
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<!DOCTYPE Context> 
<Context>     
   <Parameter 
       name="logging.level.com.software.kgs"         
       value="info"
       override="true" />     
   <Parameter
       name="logging.config"
       value="C:/Program Files/tomcat/webapps/coreoftia/META-INF/my.log4j2.xml"
       override="true" /> 
</Context>

The parameter names are written in lowercase strings and reflect the hierarchy of application modules. For that reason, the “.” (dot character) is used to separate the levels in the hierarchy.

Info

Note: When using environmental variables, the parameter names will need to be converted to all-uppercase and the usage of dot is not permitted. Hence replace all the “.” (dot characters) by “_” (underscore characters).

Repository-wide settings

Repository-wide settings are configured for each repository separately in the repository.cfg file.

By default,

  • the file resides in containerized deployments /application/config/repository.cfg. It i best practice to use a volume mount in the container configuration:

Code Block
docker [..] -v <Folder>/repository.cfg:/application/config/repository.cfg [..]

  • For war deployments, find the repository.cfg here: <web server installation>/webapps/<context>/conf.

The location of the repository.cfg file can be modified by editing these application-wide settings (here with the default values):

  • configservice.class=file

  • configDirectory=config

  • configFile=repository.cfg

The parameter names in the repository.cfg file follow a hierarchical scheme. The format of parameters for services therefore follow this format:

<repository>.<service>.[etc]

For example:
