Refresh System Properties (PROP)
Purpose: Use this menu option to review the current settings in the properties files for the current server.
If someone has changed a setting in a properties file since the SERENADE service or application server was started, an additional column, New Value, displays indicating the new setting. An icon displays next to each setting that has changed.
|
An exclamation icon displays next to each setting that has changed and can be updated with the new value by selecting Change on this screen. When you select Change, the system updates all of the settings that are flagged with an exclamation icon with the new value. You can also stop and restart the SERENADE service (or the application server) to have the changes take effect. |
|
A restart icon displays next to each setting that has changed that requires a restart the SERENADE service (or the application server) to have the changes take effect. |
Multiple application servers: If you use multiple self-contained CWSerenade application servers, you need to maintain the properties files on each application server. If you select to update the settings that have changed for one application server, you should also log in to the other CWSerenade application servers and use System Properties (PROP) to update the settings that have changed for the other servers. See Using Multiple CWSerenade Application Servers for more information.
How to display this screen: Enter PROP in the Fast path field or select Refresh System Properties from a menu.
Authority: Users with ALLOW or DISPLAY authority to this menu option can update the settings in the properties files with the new values.

Update all of the property settings that are flagged with an exclamation icon with their new values |
Select Change. CWSerenade updates all of the settings that are flagged with an exclamation icon with their new values. These changes take effect on the current server only. The changes take effect immediately. Multiple application servers: If you use multiple self-contained CWSerenade application servers, you need to maintain the properties files on each application server. If you select to update the settings that have changed for one application server, you should also log in to the other CWSerenade application servers and use System Properties (PROP) to update the settings that have changed for the other servers. Note: In order to update property settings that are flagged with a restart icon with their new values, you must stop and restart the SERENADE service (or application server) before the changes take effect. |
