7.1 Types of property files (used by EADS servers)

The table below lists and describes the types of property files used by the EADS servers.

This chapter explains only the environment-dependent parameters.

Table 7‒1: Types of property files (used by EADS servers)
No.	Property file	File name	Description
1	Server property file	`eads_server.properties`	Defines an EADS server execution environment.
2	Cluster property file	`eads_cluster.properties`	Defines a cluster configuration.
3	Shared property file	`eads_shared.properties`	Defines settings that are common to all EADS servers.
4	Command property file	`eads_command.properties`	Defines the settings for command execution.
5	Cache property file	`eads_cache.cache-name.properties`	Defines cache properties. This file is created for each cache. For a memory cache, this file is optional. For a disk cache or a two-way cache, this file is required.
6	Function property file	This file can have any name. For details, see 17.4 Creating a function property file (optional).	Defines the settings for user function execution. This file is optional.

Important note

The contents of the cluster property files and the shared property files must be identical among all the EADS servers that make up a cluster. If any properties are different, the EADS servers cannot start because the cluster cannot be configured.
The settings in the cache property files for the parameters shown below must be identical among all the EADS servers that make up a cluster. If any settings are different, the caches cannot be created.

eads.cache.type

eads.cache.disk.filesize

eads.cache.disk.filenum

eads.cache.disk.blocksize
Although the contents of all the property files need not be identical, we recommend that you use property files whose contents are the same (except for IP addresses and port numbers) on all EADS servers.
