Instance settings

tia® Viewer Core provides many configuration parameters An instance is a set of these configurations and has a instance name. Repositories are mapped to a specific instance.

All instance settings are below parent tia.instances.

Mapping repositories to instances

Repositories are mapped to instances. The tia® Viewer Core allows each instance to be configured separately.

• In SAP-side customized tia® Viewer Core configuration, the mapping to an instance resides on SAP-side. For more information read about column Viewer Conf in https://kgs-software.atlassian.net/wiki/x/BICOxg .

• In Content Server Viewer (CSV) configuration, the mapping is specified in the tia® Viewer configuration using parameter tia.repositoryinstancemapping, see also https://kgs-software.atlassian.net/wiki/x/B4C1wg.

tia® Viewer Core maps repositories to instance default, if no explicit mapping exists.

Applying instance settings

Instance settings must reference a specific instance, so

• when setting via environmental variable, the variable name must always contain following prefix

tia.instances.<instance name>.

• when using a viewer YAML configuration file, the correct location is important (below the instance name and with two spaces more intend).

The instance default is the template for all instances: If a parameter is not specified for a specific instance, the setting of default is applied.

If also for instance default no setting was applied, tia® Viewer Core uses built-in default values (global default).
