Modifying aclDatabase.xml

The settings for connecting to the ACL Analytics Exchange database are securely stored in an encrypted file named aclDatabase.xml. If you need to modify any of these settings, you need to enter the new information in an unencrypted copy of the file, and move it to the geronimo\var\config subfolder where it will be encrypted automatically the next time the ACL Analytics Exchange Geronimo service starts. If you update your database settings, you need to update the aclDatabase.xml file on each Geronimo application server that connects to the ACL Analytics Exchange database. This includes AX Server, AX Engine Node, and the AX Exception server if AX Exception is part of your implementation and it is installed on a separate server from AX Server.

To modify the encrypted configuration file:

  1. Stop the ACL Analytics Exchange Geronimo service in Windows Services.
  2. Navigate to the folder where the unencrypted copy of aclDatabase.xml is located. There is template subfolder for each supported configuration that includes an unencrypted aclDatabase.xml configuration file. The template folders are located in the Installation_Backup\Configuration subfolder where the Geronimo application server you are updating is installed.
  3. Copy the unencrypted file to the geronimo\var\config subfolder where the Geronimo application server application server you are updating is installed.
  4. Open the property file in a text editor, make the necessary changes, and save and close the file.
  5. Start the ACL Analytics Exchange Geronimo service in Windows Services. The aclDatabase.xml file is encrypted when the service starts.
