Creating a Database based Configuration File

This section shows you how to create a database based configuration file and store properties in it.

Use the main Temenos Transact data source to execute the configuration service.

The configuration service is used to automatically create the configuration table TAFJ_CONFIGURATION, if it did not exist initially. The TAFJ_CONFIGURATION table is then used to store configurations. You can identify a configuration by a unique configuration ID. For example,

• production-system
• l3-dev

Using a Database Configuration File in an Application Server Environment

Set the following system property at JVM startup.

-Dtafj.configuration=production-system

The configuration production-system is created automatically with default values if it doesn’t exist in the configuration table.

The TAFJ_CONFIGURATION table has the following structure:

• CONFIGURATION_ID: The configuration identifier
• PROPERTY_KEY: The property key
• PROPERTY_VALUE: The property value
• LAST_MODIFIED: The timestamp that states when the properties were last modified.
• USER_NAME: The user name responsible for modifying the properties (default values are created by the user system).
