networking.properties

The networking.properties configuration file is used to enable or disable backend servers and configure performance parameters.

This file is configured automatically at installation, based on options defined in the installation.properties file.

This file can also be modified manually, after which the server will need to be restarted. Often, other servers will need to be modified in compatible ways. When that is the case:

1. The modifications should be made to the networking.properties files for all servers.
2. All the servers should then be brought down
3. The servers can then be restarted.

The networking.properties file is located in the following directory:

{install_dir}/tomcat/conf/RN directory

Changing Configuration Parameters

Warning: Do not change the DBSource property. It's value (RN) is the alias used by the Application Server to connect to the data source. If inadvertently changed, the platform won't run.
