Simflofy's Global Properties

Simflofy's Global Properties file can be used to configure specific parts of your Simflofy environment to tailor it to your exact specification needs.


Initial Run Properties

PropertyDescription
simflofy.initialize.mongoWill generate the collections required for Simflofy and create indexes for fast searches. Set this to false after your initial run, as it will cause long startup times for more heavily used systems.
simflofy.initialize.bootstrapWill load some default configurations into the database. Set to false after the first run.
simflofy.initialize.updateMostly needed for a 2.X to 3.X upgrade. Will run patches which remove deprecated connectors, add the new ones, transform out of date configurations to be used for 3.X. Set to false after the first run.
simflofy.initialize.runallpatchesIf this and simflofy.initialize.update is set to true, all patches will be run, regardless of whether they have been previously run.
simflofy.initialize.demoviewWill use widget instances from the bootstrap to generate a sample Content View with some pre-loaded content. All of the connectors generated by this option are overwritten on startup,so they are not appropriate for reuse.
simflofy.encrypt.db.passwordsIf true , mongo.db.password will be encrypted on startup.
