installed.properties
This file ( owareapps\installprops\lib\installed.properties ) contains defaults
installed with your package. An example of this file appears below. Installation automates the
insertion of the
[host name] variable:
#************************************************************
# The following properties override those found in *
# oware/lib/*.properties in order to establish valid *
# properties for this installation. *
#************************************************************
oware.database.host=[host name ]
com.dorado.bom_dbms.preferred_db_type=rdbms
oware.installed.package.name=[Package Name]
oware.installed.package.version=[Package Version]
OWARE.CONTEXT.SERVER.URL=jnp://
[host name] :1099
The OWARE.CONTEXT.SERVER.URL , when present, disables an otherwise dynamic lookup of this
server. Devices that do not support multicast (for example, some Dell switches) require this be a
static address—the URL in this property. You would have to use this property when connecting to
an application server through a VPN that restricts multicast traffic. You must list all additional
servers, comma-delimited (
OWARE.CONTEXT.SERVER.URL=jnp:// [host1] :1099, jnp://
[host2] :1099...), if you have a clustered installation.
Dell installations explicitly set the server URL on clients. This URL assumes the application server
is running on the default port range. If ports conflict, use the
-n [Node Number] parameter in a command line to start application server so it uses something
other than a default port range.
If your client cannot connect and the server log shows it cannot bind to port 1099 (or 11099, and so
on), then stopping application server from the client does not work; client applications cannot
communicate with the application server. In this case, to stop application server, you must kill the
java.exe processes on the server machine. The tray icon should then indicate the application
server is stopped.
To change the port range for application server, modify the node number property for appserver in
oware\lib\pmstartup.dat . By default (upon installation) the property is as follows:
application.server.node.number=0
To use a different part range, change zero (0) to 1, 2 or 3.
