Working with Property Files

Property files contain values that control the operation of IBM® Sterling B2B Integrator.

By modifying the settings of these properties, you can customize Sterling B2B Integrator to suit your business needs. Property files are located in the install_dir/properties (UNIX) directory or the install_dir\properties (Windows) directory and are usually named in the following manner: filename.properties. Some files have other suffixes including .xml, .xsl, .cfg, and .ini. Substitute the appropriate suffix for properties when needed.

CAUTION:

Because property files directly affect operations, ensure that you fully understand the impact of property file changes. When changing configuration files, be sure that you have a complete backup of theSterling B2B Integrator system and have fully tested the changes in a test or development environment before moving the changes into production. In addition, some properties should only be changed by Customer Support. For information about working with any property file or property, see the comments in the property file or contact Customer Support.
