• ssp-config.properties
  
  • The ssp-config.properties file must be modifed for database connectivity and email settings
  • File Location: src/main/config/external to /usr/local/etc/ssp or C:\ssp (depending on the environment

  • Action: copy the  ssp-config.properties file to the local configuration directory (ie: C:\ssp\ssp-local)

  • Configuration Values:

    Value	Description	Note
    system_id	Unique identifier of the SSP instance
    db_url	jdbc connection syntax	For Microsoft SQL Server, either specify a port (the default is 1433) or ensure that the SQL Server Browser service is running because the SQL Server JDBC driver defaults to port 1434 which is the SQL Server Server Browser service default port. Depending on the server configuration, either may work, or you may want to explicitly specify the port and instance name, if applicable.
    db_driver_class	jdbc database connectivity syntax
    db_dialect	Hibernate dialect	Use of one of the org.jasig.ssp.util.hibernate.ExtendedSQLServer*Dialects is strongly encouraged if running against SQLSever. The default ssp-config.properties has an example.)
    db_username	Values for connecting to the SSP database
    db_password	Values for connecting to the SSP database
    db_admin_username	Values for connecting to the SSP database
    db_admin_password	Values for connecting to the SSP database
    db_conns_max_active	Values for the database connection pool	The default value will need to be increased for test and product
    db_conns_max_idle	Values for the database connection pool	The default value will need to be increased for test and product
    db_conns_max_wait	Values for the database connection pool
    db_conns_validation_query	Values for the database connection pool
    db_liquibase_enabled	Enables the liquibase script for database table management
    db_liquibase_changelog	Location for the liquibase change log
    db_liquibase_set_mssql_snapshot_isolation	Parameter for configuring a MSSQL database	IMPORTANT The default value is 'true'.  Set this value to 'false for MSSQL.  The liquibase changeset 000014.xml will be ignored.  The sql above configures the database correctly.
    db_liquibase_strip_journal_comment_markup	Parameter to enable a script to convert HTML Journal Entries to plain text
    db_liquibase_strip_tuition_paid_is_y	True value will delete the existing values forced into the database in v1.2.0, False will leave the existing values alone	This only applies to implementers who installed v1.2.0 or earlier AND populated the external_registration_status_by_term.tuition_paid field with external data
    db_batchsize	The number of records to process for database transactions.	The default value is 300.  Use of the parameter can increase performance of queries writing large sums of data into the database.  This is primarily used in the Caseload Re-assignment tool.
    db_time_zone_legacy	Parameter to set the timezone for data migration	Used for migrating persistent timestamps. Prior to work on SSP-1002, SSP-1035, and SSP-1076, timestamps were stored in the JVM default timezone.  After that the application assumes they are stored in ${db_time_zone}. In order to correctly migrate existing data, though, the app needs to know the original timezone. This is almost always going to be the current JVM default timezone, hence the default value here, which is a special value instructing the app to lookup and inject that timezone into this config property. In the rare event you need to change that value, you can do so here. This would likely only be necessary if, for whatever reason you change the JVM default *after* the migrations run, which would result in a Liquibase checksum error. To avoid that, just set the relevant timezone here when and if you make that change. Default is CURRENT_JVM_DEFAULT
    db_time_zone	Timezone ID for the JVM	JVM-recognized TimeZone ID for the zone in which persistent date/time values should be interpreted. Should rarely if ever need to be overridden. If overridden, should always be set to a TimeZone that does not observe Daylight Savings Time unless trying to cope with legacy data that was stored in a DST-aware TimeZone. Once set, should never be changed else date/time values in the database will be interpreted incorrectly. (SSP does not store timezone data on persistent date/time values and implements no logic for  detecting and/or handling changes to this configuration option.) Default is UTC
    smtp_username	Value for email relay
    smtp_password	Value for email relay
    smtp_host	Value for email relay
    smtp_port	Value for email relay
    ssp_admins_email_addresses	Recipient of system generated messages
    scheduled_coach_sync_enabled	Parameter to enable coach sync process
    per_coach_sync_transactions	Parameter to enable the sync process to run per coach instead of one large transaction for all coaches		db_batchsize	The number of records to process for database transactions.	The default value is 300.  Use of the parameter can increase performance of queries writing large sums of data into the database.  This is primarily used in the Caseload Re-assignment tool.
    ssp_main_use_minifed_js	Parameter to determine the javascript file used in the deployment	When set to true, ssp-main.jsp will include a minified js called app-all.js When set to false, ssp-main.jsp will include the non-minified app.js
    uportal_session_keep_alive_timeout	Length of time for uPortal sessions KeepAliveFilter
    spring.profiles.active	Deployment options	dev-standalone: completely free of uPortal standalone: as the only portlet in a uPortal instance uPortal: as one of many portlets in a uPortal instance

• logback.xml
