Overview of PAS for OpenEdge administration : Configuration and properties files
 

Configuration and properties files

The following table lists the configuration files that are located in the Progress Application Server's /conf directory. Where noted, standard Tomcat configuration files were extended to support configuration of the Progress Application Server.
Note: Although these files can be edited in a text editor, it is always safer to use a utility like tcman.sh config to set, add, or remove properties.
Table 3. Progress Application Server properties files
appserver.properties
An added Progress properties file that sets custom Progress Application Server properties. It is called on startup by conf/server.xml and is also used by Progress web applications.
For more information, open the conf/appserver.properties.README file.
catalina.properties
A standard Tomcat properties file that was extended to access common shared libraries and to supply external Java properties used by server.xml.
For more information, open the conf/catalina.properties.README file.
jvm.properties
A standard properties file that sets JVM options for the Java Virtual Machine that a PAS instance runs in.
Note: You cannot use tcman.sh(.bat) config to modify this file.
openedge.properties
An added Progress properties file that contains OpenEdge-specifc settings for debugging, logging, and other properties.
For more information, open the conf/openedge.properties.README file.
server.xml
A standard Tomcat configuration file that was tailored for the Progress Application Server to use Java system properties that are defined externally configured in the catalina.properties and the appserver.properites files.
web.xml
context.xml
