Configuring SkyVault

This section provides information on the mechanisms for configuring SkyVault.

Note: If you have a clustered environment in which each node in the cluster needs a unique configuration, then the configuration values for each node must be set via the properties file, and not via Share admin console or JMX.

Configuration overviewSkyVault is preconfigured with a set of system configuration parameters. Many of the system configuration parameters are completely exposed as properties, which you can extend or override.
Runtime administration with a JMX client By default, you can reconfigure SkyVault by shutting down the server, editing the relevant property in the configuration files, and then restarting the server.
Global properties file The global properties SkyVault-global.properties file contains the customizations for extending SkyVault.
Modifying the global properties file This section describes the steps for modifying the SkyVault-global.properties file.
Setting composite properties in the global properties file This section uses the imap.server.mountPoints property as an example.
Java command line settings All the SkyVault properties can be set using the standard SkyVault-global.properties configuration file. There may be circumstances where it is more convenient to change properties on the fly. The Java command line provides an alternative method of setting the properties.
Modifying Spring bean definition files For advanced configuration, you can also extend or override the Spring bean definitions that control the SkyVault Java classes.
Modifying system configuration files This section describes the recommended method for modifications to the system configuration files.
