Run-time environment configuration
These DataSource configuration items specify a DataSource application’s run-time environment.
| "this DataSource application" means the DataSource application for which you are defining the configuration. "DataSource peer" or "peer" means a DataSource application that this DataSource application communicates with. |
application-name
application-name specifies the name of this DataSource application. Certain other configuration items can use the %a parameter to refer to this name (the documentation for an item will tell you if you can do this).
| When you run the DataSource application under the Caplin Deployment Framework, the Framework’s blade startup script automatically derives the application name from the blade name, so you don’t have to specify it in a configuration file. |
Use in: C, Java
Syntax: application-name <name>
Type: string
Default value: [Name of the application’s binary executable file with no trailing .exe]
application-root
application-root specifies the root directory path under which this DataSource application runs. Certain other configuration items can use the %r parameter to refer to this directory (the documentation for an item will tell you if you can do this).
| When you run the DataSource application under the Caplin Deployment Framework, the Framework’s blade startup script automatically derives the application root directory path from the blade’s root directory within the Framework directory structure, so you don’t have to specify it in a configuration file. |
Use in: C
Syntax: application-root <root-directory-path>
Type: string
Default value: [current working directory]
daemon-enable
daemon-enable should be set to TRUE if you want this DataSource application to run as a Linux daemon process.
When you run the DataSource application under the Caplin Deployment Framework, the Framework’s blade startup script automatically sets this option to TRUE, so the application runs as a daemon.
|
Use in: C
Syntax: daemon-enable <boolean>
Type: boolean
Default value: FALSE
ignore-missing-config-files
ignore-missing-config-files specifies when TRUE that the DataSource application shouldn’t terminate in error if it finds that a configuration file included in another configuration file doesn’t actually exist.
Use in: C, Java
Syntax: ignore-missing-config-files <boolean>
Type: boolean
Default value: FALSE (the DataSource application terminates in error if an included configuration file doesn’t exist)
license-file
license-file specifies the name of the license file for this DataSource application. The license file is located in the etc directory of the unpacked DataSource application kit.
Use in: C
The license filename can contain the parameter %a, which is replaced by the DataSource application-name at run time.
| For information about other configuration items relating to licensing, refer to the document Caplin Platform: Guide to User Licensing. |
Syntax: license-file <licence-filename>
Type: string
Default value: license-%a.conf
pid-filename
pid-filename specifies the location and name of the PID file where this DataSource application’s process ID is recorded.
Use in: C, Java
The PID filename can contain the parameter %a, which is replaced by the DataSource application-name at run time. The file path can contain the %r parameter, which is replaced by the root directory under which this DataSource application runs (see application-root), and %u, which is replaced by the home directory of the user that the application runs as.
Syntax: pid-filename <file-path-and-filename>
Type: string
Default value: %r/var/%a.pid
runtime-user
runtime-user specifies a user to run this DataSource application as (applies to Linux only).
This item primarily applies to Liberator. To use port 80 (the default for HTTP connections) or 443 (the default for HTTPS connections), Liberator needs to be started as the root user. Setting the runtime-user configuration enables the Liberator to subsequently run as a less privileged user than root, but nevertheless continue to use ports 80 and 443.
Use in: C
Syntax: runtime-user <user-name>
Type: string
Default value: [none]
