TIBCO BusinessEvents® Enterprise Edition 6.3.1

# Supplementary Property Files

Supplementary property files can be used in addition to `be-engine.tra` (or the alternate file you specified using `--propFile`).

In TIBCO BusinessEvents 4.0 and later versions, property files are less likely to be needed, because only system level configuration is done in the TRA files. Configuration formerly done in TRA files is now done using the Cluster Deployment Descriptor file. Supplementary property files typically have a `.cfg` or `.tra` extension. Properties are defined as a list of name-value pairs. If a property name includes spaces, escape them using a back slash (\).

## Order of Precedence

Values in supplementary property files override the values in the startup property file. Values provided at the command line override values in the supplementary property files. If you specify multiple property files that include different values for the same parameters, TIBCO BusinessEvents uses the value in the left-most file in the command line.

For example, consider this command line:

    be-engine -p first.cfg -p second.cfg -p third.cfg

If `second.cfg` and `third.cfg` set different values for (as an example) tibco.clientVar.MyVar, and `first.cfg` does not include this parameter, TIBCO BusinessEvents uses the value in `second.cfg`. However, if `first.cfg` also includes a value for tibco.clientVar.MyVar, ``TIBCO BusinessEvents`` uses the value in `first.cfg`.
