We can use Properties to configure TDI components and the TDI Server. Properties are simple keyword:value pairs of parameters kept outside your configuration files (configs), stored in External Properties files. This enables you to keep confidential information like passwords outside of the Config files. The global.properties file is the main configuration file for TDI. Properties are defined in the global.properties file or in the solution.properties file. The solutions.property file is a writable copy of the global.properties file and is used when the server is started from the solution directory. If a solution directory different from the installation directory is specified during installation, then a copy of the global.properties file named solution.properties is created in the TDI solution directory. Both files are text files, and are written so that they can be understood by the operating system that is running on the platform.
Properties are single-valued data containers that hold parameter
information, for example, true or 5000. We can
access properties from script using entry functions like getProperty() and setProperty().
Get and set methods work directly with property values. Entry objects
can also contain properties. Like Attributes, properties are data
containers. Attributes are used to store data content, but properties
hold parametric information. Property values and Attributes can be
any type of Java Object. Properties do not show up in:
