Bootstrap properties

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 location:

<install_location>/FileNet/Config/WebClient

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/XT1:

<context-param>
<param-name>configurationDirectory</param-name>
<param-value>/opt/FileNet/Config/XT1</param-value>
</context-param>
