16.01 private cloud file system structure and properties file location

[chiki_sun]

I need to make a change in some properties files for the message processor in the 16.01. The file system structures in 16.01 changes quite a bit and I am not clear from the doc.

from the doc

Additional directories under the /<inst_root>/apigee directory include: • customer/application - To configure Edge components after installation, you edit .properties files in the customer/application directory. Changes to .properties files require you to restart the affected Edge component. Each component has its own .properties file in that directory. For example, router.properties and management-server.properties. The .properties files are not installed by default. Typically, you create them only when setting properties on a component.

In my install, customer/application folder is empty, and so am I supposed to create the properties file manually? let's say I want to edit the http.properties in the message processor. what do I need to do? In 15.07, i simply edit the file in /instal-dir/apigee4/conf/apigee/message-processor. Now I am not sure.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi Leo,

Do you have the Edge Operations Guide from the ftp site? There is a section in that doc called "How to Configure Edge" with a lot of info on configuring Edge using .properties files. There is also a section in that doc called "Setting HTTP request/response header limits" that describes how to set http.properties.

To answer your question though, if the .properties file does not exist, you can create it.

Hi,

I reviewed that section of the doc. for these .properties files, do/can/should I copy the properties files I need in /opt/apigee/edge-message-processor/conf to /opt/apigee/customer/application and make changes there?

no, you only create.properties files for the specific properties you want to set. Do not copy them from other locations.

Thx. I think I got the idea how the properties file work in 16.01
