Configuring a Server Framework for Cloudscape

Setting Cloudscape Properties

This section covers:

System Properties

When using Cloudscape as a database server, you specify Cloudscape system properties at the time the server is started. Setting system properties on the client application has no effect on the server, because they are not transmitted to the server.

Set Cloudscape system properties in the cloudscape.properties file in the cloudscape.system.home directory. This is the same way you set properties in an embedded environment. Be sure to set the properties in the cloudscape.properties file on the server machine before starting up the server.

It is a good idea to set cloudscape.system.bootAll to true in a server, so that client connection time is reduced when the server boots. It is also a good idea to set the server to boot databases that are not under cloudscape.system.home.

Conglomerate-Specific and Database-Wide Properties

You can set properties for specific databases. Some properties that apply to specific tables or indexes may be set in a client application within an SQL-J statement. See Tuning Cloudscape for information about conglomerate-specific and database-wide properties.
