D.4.3 config Subdirectory

The config subdirectory within the data_ingest directory contains the application configuration files.

The following sections describe the configuration files:
  • DataIngest.properties: Property file that contains settings that are configured at installation. These settings are of the most interest to an Oracle client regarding modification
  • DataIngest.xml: XML configuration file that contains settings that normally remain as is.
  • DataIngestCustom.xml: XML configuration file that contains overridden settings from DataIngest.xml.

The DataIngest.properties and DataIngest.xml files contain settings for IP addresses, port numbers, file paths, file extensions, and other runtime settings including an application's performance tuning parameters. Property files within the config subdirectory contain database user IDs and encrypted passwords.

The config/datamaps subdirectory also contains XML data maps for parsing input data and mapping processed data to fields in files and in databases. The XML data maps are preset and do not require any modifications.
