How to add custom properties by using the FileNet.properties file

Some system properties and custom properties can be set in the FileNet.properties file.

To add a property, open the FileNet.properties file and add property <property>=<value> to the file. Note -D is not part of the property name.

Place the FileNet.properties file in the application server startup directory. Following are the default application server startup directories:

• WebSphere Application Server: <WebSphere_home>\AppServer\profiles\<profile name>
• Oracle WebLogic Server: <WebLogic_home>\user_projects\domains\<domain>
