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.Some configuration changes, such as an update to the logging properties does not require a restart and are applied immediately.
