About this task
Use the following files to
create a basic configuration:
- Server properties file
- Use the server properties file to define settings for catalog
and container servers, such as trace, logging, security, ports, and
so on. You can pass a server properties file to the server start script,
put the file in your classpath, or define the file with system properties.
- Client properties file
- Use the client
properties file to set properties on your clients,
including ports and security settings. You can specify the client
properties file to use with a system property, by placing the file
in the classpath, or by using the ClientClusterContext.getClientProperties method.
- ObjectGrid descriptor XML file
- The ObjectGrid descriptor XML file describes the data grid and
map configuration. Specify the file to use with the server start script
for stand-alone configurations, or add the file to the application
module for WebSphere® Application Server configurations.
- Deployment policy descriptor XML file
- The deployment policy XML file controls shard and placement of
data on the various container servers in the configuration. Specify
the file to use with the server start script for stand-alone configurations,
or add the file to the application module for WebSphere Application Server configurations.
