Customer-defined Properties

Much of the configuration of Oracle Transportation and Global Trade Management involves managing properties used by the application. Properties are divided between their use in the web-tier (i.e. screen-related properties) and in the application-tier (i.e. business properties). You can view the current value of a property using the App-Tier Properties and Web-Tier Properties accessed via Configuration and Administration > Technical Support > Diagnostics and Tools > Configuration. Type the beginning of a property name in the Filter field and click Refresh button to see a list of matching properties and their corresponding values.

Note: Only users with a DBA.ADMIN user role have access to this menu option.

Tip: Changes made to properties on this page are lost when the server is restarted.

Property Sets

You can make permanent property changes using the Property Set manager. A property set is a collection of ordered property instructions stored in the database. This page is accessed via Configuration and Administration > Property Management > Property Sets.

The CUSTOM property set, provided during installation, should be used for simple property changes. This property set will override staged properties in both the web and application tiers. More complex property set hierarchies can be created. For more details, see the Property Sets help.

Property Sets contain important settings, which affect the system. For example, the following property can be used to configure automated emails: glog.properties.email.recipients.

See the glog.properties Properties help for more details.

Password Properties

Passwords are not stored in property files or property sets. Instead, password values are stored in secure wallets.

Any change to a password property in the Property Set manager is stored in the wallet. Note that all password values are masked on the manager for security reasons.
