Some disk access and memory allocation overhead can be eliminated by setting the configurationCheckMilliseconds
property of the Nucleus
component (with a Nucleus address of /
) to -1
. This property controls whether or how often ATG rereads .properties
files or .java
files the next time that an instance of a given component is created. This feature is useful during development, but we recommend disabling it once a site goes live for better performance. The value -1
disables the reloading of properties and .java
files altogether.
Note: If you subsequently make changes to .properties
files or .java
files on your live site (which you generally should not do), you will need to restart your application server before changes are picked up. If you change property settings using the ATG Control Center, you may need to restart to fully register changes that may affect interdependent components.
The recommended configuration is enabled in the liveconfig
configuration layer.
