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

 

Location of the repository.cfg file

By default,

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

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

 

Parameter names

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:

ZQ.contentservice.proxy.primary.type

 

Syntax rules for repository.cfg file

This file is a Java property file. This explains the syntax rules all entries must comply with.

Comment:

All rows starting with # are considered a comment and not executed.

#This is a comment

Parameter Assignment:

A value is assigned to a parameter by starting with the parameter name followed by a = character and then the value.

Space characters are ignored, so that these two example lines have identical effect.

name=Stephen
name = Stephen

Path to directory or file:

The / (slash) is not a special character and can be used unescaped. This allows Linux paths to be written in to the configuration file as is.

The \ (backslash), however, needs to be escaped as it interpreted as escape character. So to use Windows paths in the configuration file, \\ (two backslash characters) needs to be used for each backslash in Windows path.

Examples:

# A Linux path
Directory=/var/coreoftia/config

# A Windows path
Directory=C:\\test\\repository

# An UNC path
Directory=\\\\10.9.8.7\\ARCHIVE
