Steps to migrate Snaplex nodes from using the global.properties file to slpropz
If you have a Snaplex running with a global.properties file in the $SL_ROOT/etc folder, you should consider migrating the Snaplex to use the slpropz mechanism for the configuration. Running the Groundplex with the global.properties file requires the following tasks for any configuration change.
Note: It is recommended that you manually update their global.properties file instead of overwriting it.
-
Manually update the
global.properties file.
-
Copy the updated configuration to all the nodes.
-
Restart all the nodes.
It is recommended that you migrate to the new slpropz mechanism for defining configuration files.
-
To migrate the Snaplex configuration to the
slpropz mechanism, update the Snaplex properties in Manager by adding custom configurations, which remain in the global.properties into the Snaplex properties.
If you do not complete this step, then the configuration changes applied to the nodes are not available when running with slpropz.
-
Navigate to the , and download
slpropz file into the $SL_ROOT/etc folder.
-
Back up the
global.properties and keys.properties files, then remove them from the $SL_ROOT/etc folder.
-
Restart the JCC process on all the Groundplex nodes through the Public API. Alternatively, as an Org admin, you can restart the JCC node through the Dashboard by clicking dropdown icon on the target Groundplex node and selecting Node Restart.
The Snaplex nodes should run with the new slpropz mechanism, therefore allowing for remote configuration updates.
