Editing system configuration settings

Axiom has a number of configuration settings that can be set on a per system basis. These settings are managed by using the Software Manager. For the purposes of editing system configuration settings, the Software Manager must be run on the Axiom Application Server.

NOTE: The system configuration settings can also be edited within Axiom itself, if desired. To do this, you must set up an Axiom file to use Save Type 4. For more information, see the following topic in Axiom Help: Updating system configuration settings using Save Type 4 (AX2346).

To edit system configuration settings:

  1. In the Software Manager, click Installation Manager > Configure System Properties.

    IMPORTANT: If you do not see this option, then the server does not have a signed Axiom certificate. See Installing the Axiom certificate.

  2. If necessary, from the Application Server list, select the application server installation.

    In most cases, only one instance of the Axiom Application Server is present on the machine, and you do not need to change anything. This option is for situations where multiple application servers may be installed on the same machine.

  3. Edit any of the configuration settings as desired. For more information on the available configuration settings, see System Configuration Settings.

    For example, you may want to edit the Scheduler_FromEmailAddress property, to specify an email address to use as the “From” address for Axiom email notifications. By default, this is set to noreply@axiomepm.com. This address will be used in all cases where a separate “From” address is not specified.

  4. Click OK.

Resetting the application server cache

The edited configuration settings will not be recognized until the application server cache is reset. The Software Manager will attempt to reset the cache automatically when you save changes to the system configuration settings. (Using Save Type 4 in the software will also automatically reset the cache as part of the save process.)

However, if you ever need to reset the cache manually, you can do so as follows:

  1. In the Software Manager, click Installation Manager > Reset Server Cache.

    IMPORTANT: If you do not see this option, then the server does not have a signed Axiom certificate. See Installing the Axiom certificate.

  2. If necessary, from the Application Server list, select the application server installation.

    In most cases, only one instance of the Axiom Application Server is present on the machine, and you do not need to change anything. This option is for situations where multiple application servers may be installed on the same machine.

  3. Click Reset.

TIP: You can also reset the application server cache in the Axiom Web Client, from System Administration > Infrastructure Section > Reset Services.
