tia® Viewer Core configuration parameters can be specified either by environment variables in the container context or by providing a YAML configuration file:

  • configuration by environment variables is only viable for minimal configurations

  • configuration by YAML configuration file is required when requiring configuring of instances and more. Here only one environment variable to point to the YAML file is required (SPRING_CONFIG_ADDITIONALLOCATION).

 

tia® Viewer Core parameter names are ordered hierarchically: Except of top-level settings, each setting has one direct superior, also called parent. A . (dot) separates parent name from parameter name.

When configuring using environment variables, a prefix string provides the exact location in the hierarchy from top-level to setting.

When configuring using YAML file, the setting must be placed below its parent with other siblings, each with an line intend increased by the same number of space characters, while no shorter intend may be appear between the setting and its parent.
