Overview of Properties Files

aPriori provides a number of files in which properties can be set to control the behavior of various parts of the system. The most important of these include:

• apriori.properties – This is the primary properties file and determines the behavior for all users in an installation (unless overridden at a local level). See apriori.properties below.

• apriori.user.properties – This file is similar to apriori.properties, but controls only the settings for a specific user. See apriori.user.properties below.

• bulkLoad,properties – This file specifies the predefined bulk costing inputs required by the bulkLoad.cmd. See bulkLoad.properties below.

• plugin,properties – These files exist for each of the aPriori plugins that are in use at your installation. See plugin.properties below.

Some of the settings in these files are intended for modification by customers, but many settings exist for adjustment only by aPriori Support or Services personnel. If you have the slightest question about whether you should modify one of these settings, contact aPriori Support first.
