About the Workplace Component Configuration properties file



The following are general notes about the properties file:
  • Do NOT enclose any value in quotes
  • Windows paths must use /, instead of a \
  • Windows long paths are okay
  • Properties are immutable;after they are set they cannot be overridden
  • Precedence is as follows in descending order
    • Properties set on command line are read first -DMyNode=somenode
    • Properties set in properties file are read next
    • Properties set in buildfile file are read last.

=Personalization properties (prereq.pzn.properties)=
The personalization data is loaded from:
AIX: /usr/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/pzn/prereq.pzn/prereq.pzn.properties
i5/OS: /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/PortalServer/pzn/prereq.pzn/prereq.pzn.properties
Linux, HP-UX, Solaris: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/pzn/prereq.pzn/prereq.pzn.properties
