Hot Configuration Update

Software AG Runtime runs a watchdog service that monitors the files under the Software AG_directory \profiles\CTP\configuration\com.softwareag.platform.config.propsloader directory and the JAAS configuration file at Software AG_directory \profiles\CTP\configuration\jaas.config and updates the runtime if changes to those files are detected. The watchdog maintains a set of configuration loaders for each supported file type (currently .properties and jaas.config). The poll interval for each configuration loader can be configured by modifying the Software AG_directory \profiles\CTP\configuration\com.softwareag.platform.config.propsloader\com.softwareag.config.watchdog.pid.properties file. The following properties can be configured:

Property	Description
poll.default	The poll interval in milliseconds to be used for configuration loaders that do not explicitly specify a poll interval. The default value is 5000. When the value of this property is set to less than 1000, polling is disabled for all loaders without values and all loaders with values set to less than 1000.
poll.file. property.loader	The poll interval in milliseconds to be used for property file configuration loader. No default value. When the value of the property is set to less than 1000, the value is reset to the value of the poll.default property.
poll.jaas. file.loader	The poll interval in milliseconds for the JAAS configuration file loader. The default value is 1000. When the value of the property is set to less than 1000, the value is reset to the value of the poll.default property.
