Configuring the Property File

A property file is required to start SmartMapper BUI server. The SmartMapper BUI server connects to the database specified in the property file. Therefore, the cross-referencing data in the specified database is loaded in SmartMapper BUI.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the TIBCO_HOME\bw\palettes\smartmapper\7.1\admin\config directory and open the bui_config.properties file.
  2. Provide a database connection in the "jdbc properties related" area.
    Note: When JDBC 4.0 or above is used, you do not have to configure the jdbc.type property.
  3. Provide an email account in the "mail related" area. This email account is used to send emails when users forget the login password.
    Note: The value of the mail.host property is either the host name of an SMTP server or the IP address of an SMTP server.
  4. Specify a session timeout value (in minutes) in the "session-timeout (minute)" area. The default timeout value is 30.

    If no action is done before the session times out, the session ends. You are required to log in again.

  5. Specify a single session timeout value (in minutes) in the "session-timeout (minute)" area. The default timeout value is 60.
    When your session reaches this value, you are forced to log out from SmartMapper Business UI even if you are performing an operation in SmartMapper Business UI.
    Note: The minimum value for both session timeout and single session timeout is 10. If a smaller value is specified, 10 is used automatically.
