Set up the webvdme.properties file for Oracle Empirica Topics

To use Oracle Empirica Topics, set up the webvdme.properties file.

Perform these steps using the non-privileged user account on the application server.

1. Navigate to the <INSTALL_DIR>/TopicsService/WEB-INF/classes directory, for example:

   $ cd /u01/stage/Signal_Install/TopicsService/WEB-INF/classes

2. If this is a new installation or an upgrade from Oracle Empirica Signal 8.x, copy the template_webvdme.properties file into the same directory, and name the copy webvdme.properties, for example:

   $ cp template_webvdme.properties webvdme.properties

3. If you are upgrading Oracle Empirica Topics from any 8.x version, copy your previous Oracle Empirica Topics webvdme.properties to the <INSTALL_DIR>/TopicsService/WEB-INF/classes directory, for example:

   $ cp /u01/stage/Signal_Install_old/TopicsService/WEB-
   INF/classes/webvdme.properties
   /u01/stage/Signal_Install/TopicsService/WEB-INF/classes/webvdme.properties

4. Using a text editor, open the webvdme.properties file.
5. Edit the instance.name parameter.

   The instance name should match the instance name you provided for the Oracle Empirica Signal webvdme.properties file. For more information, see Set up the webvdme.properties file for Oracle Empirica Signal.
