5.7 Setting the System and Logging properties

Once the installation is complete you would be configuring the different system properties and enabling logging for the application. With Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1 this task has become far easier, as it comes with dedicated applications to perform these activities.

5.7.1 System Properties Application

System Properties is a new application that is a part of Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1 and can be used to configure System-wide properties that are at a Global level or Instance level. These Properties consist of keys and values that determine the configuration of the product and the behavior of many of its components.

Global Properties: A global property exists only at a system-wide level. This means that the property is applicable to all the product server instances (for example: application server) working with a common database. For example, the system property mxe.logging.rootfolder is a global property whose value is a directory on the hard disk of the server machine where the product's log files reside.

Instance Properties: An instance property is defined and associated with a specific product server instance. For example, you can configure the system property mxe.crontask.donotrun to be an instance-specific property. You do this by associating the mxe.crontask.donotrun system property with a specific server (for example: MXServer1) and a value applicable only to that server (for example, a value of BBCron). As a result of this configuration, the Bulletin Board cron task (BBCron) is not executed on MXServer1, yet it can execute in another product instance, such as MXServer2.

Each property defined in the System Properties application has a number of characteristics that you can manage. The following table describes these characteristics:

Property Characteristic

Description

 

 

File Override

Specifies if the property and its value are loaded from a file rather

 

than from the database.

 

 

Global Only

Specifies whether this property must exist only at a system-wide

 

level. It implies the property cannot be overridden at the instance

 

level.
