Server configuration file

This chapter explains how to tweak different server settings. The settings are changed by editing the server configuration file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\ROB-EX\ganttServerG2\application.yml. Save the file and restart the server, before changes will take effect.

A sample application.yml file looks like this. Notice that anything after the character # is interpreted as a comment. Also note that is it is good practise to indent sub-sections with white spaces (not tabs) for improved readability (e.g. profiles is indented with spaces because it is a sub-section of spring). The yml format used is a common standard, read more about YAML here .

# Sample application.yml
spring:
   profiles:
      active: sqlserver

logging:
   config: file:logback.xml #OBS: To use below settings, and not the logback.xml, set this 'config' empty 
   file:
      name: logs/rbx_srv_log.txt
      max-size: 10MB # The maximum file size before it is archived
      max-history: 30 # The maximum number of archive files to keep in days
      total-size-cap: 200MB # The total size of all archive files
   pattern:
      file: "%d{MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level [%15.15thread] [%20X{rbx.ctx}] %logger : %msg%n"

db:
   host: localhost
   port: 1433
   name: GanttMultiuser
   username: ganttAdmin
   password: XXXXXX
   urlParameters: encrypt=false; # Additional semicolon separated parameters for the database connection string.
   init: conf/sql.init # Folder with custom SQL files executed during server startup
   cleanup:
      interval: "0 0 1 * * *" # Sec(0-59) Minute(0-59) Hour(0-23) DayOfMonth(1-31) Month(1-12) DayOfWeek(0-6=Sun-Sat)
      precleanup: conf/cronsql/delete.sql # Path to an sql file with custom SQL

server:
   port: 9090  # web-admin http server port

grpc:
   port: 6565  # client http port
   server:
      security:
         enabled: false

The following explains the configurable settings of each of the main top-level sections. Note that the table only contains up to third level properties. A possible fourth or higher level is written in the third level column with a ‘.’ character between each property (see as example grpc.server.security.enabled).

Use these values to change specific database settings. The values corresponds to the database server selected with the spring.profiles configuration.
