System configuration properties file location

In addition to the extensive configuration and customization options available in the Polarion Administration interface, there is a set of system-level configuration properties available to administrators and developers that affect how various Polarion system processes and functions work or behave.

The system configuration properties file, polarion.properties, contains configuration settings affecting various system processes and functions.

This file resides on the server's file system. The path varies according to the server operating system hosting the installation:

  • Windows: %POLARION_HOME%\polarion\configuration\polarion.properties

  • Linux: %POLARION_HOME%/etc/polarion.properties

You can edit the system properties file using a text editor application such as Notepad or Vi. There is no user interface for it in the Polarion portal.

Note:
  • It is highly recommended to make a backup copy of the current production version of the system properties file before modifying it. Then if the modified file causes problems, you can easily restore the last working version.

  • Changes to system properties do not take effect until the Polarion server is restarted.

For more information, see System properties.

Advanced Configuration Properties

There is a set of advanced system-level properties that can be set and modified in the Configuration Properties topic of Administration. These can be edited online, and changes do not require restart of the server to take effect.
