The bootstrap.properties file contains bootstrap preferences and their values. The file is automatically updated any time you modify the bootstrap site preferences. See Bootstrap preferences for a complete explanation of each bootstrap preference.
For a Web farm environment, this file is copied to a shared location specified during installation, for use by all Application Engine or Workplace XT servers in the environment.
By default, the file is installed in one of the following locations, depending on your application:
NOTE To specify a new location for the bootstrap.properties file after the product is installed, enter the new location as the value of the configurationDirectory parameter in the web.xml file. For example, the following code snippet indicates a new location of /opt/FileNet/Config/AE1 for Workplace:
<context-param>
<param-name>configurationDirectory</param-name>
<param-value>/opt/FileNet/Config/AE1</param-value>
</context-param>

useEnhancedTimeZoneDetection | (Workplace only) Uses a Java™ applet to increase the browser's accuracy in detecting the time zone. Set this parameter to true only if you observe problems related to time zone detection. Be aware that setting this to true results in some extra overhead related to downloading the Java applet. This setting cannot be modified through site preferences. When you set this to true, the following conditions must also be true:
NOTE The time zone defined on a user's desktop, for example via the control panel, is used by this parameter. If the time zone is changed after this parameter detects the initial time zone, all of the browser windows need to be closed, and then re-opened for the new time zone to take effect. |
