Snaplex Node Configuration

Snaplex nodes are typically configured using a slpropz configuration file, located in the $SL_ROOT/etc folder. 

If you have an older Snaplex installation and its configuration is defined in the global.properties file, then the Environment value must match the jcc.environment value In the JCC global.properties file. To migrate your Snaplex configuration to the slpropz mechanism, see Migrating Older Snaplex Nodes.

You should always configure your Snaplex instances using the slpropz file because you do not have to edit the slpropz files manually and changes to the Snaplex done through Manager are applied automatically to all nodes in that Snaplex, making configuration issues, which may prevent the Snaplex from starting, automatically reverted.

If you use the slpropz file as your Snaplex configuration, then the following applies:

...

After a Snaplex node is started with the slpropz configuration, subsequent configuration updates are applied automatically.

...

Changing the Snaplex properties in Manager causes each Snaplex node to download the updated slpropz and initiates a rolling restart with no downtime on Snaplex instances with more than one node.
