Enabling connector property persistence in a runtime

Before you begin

You must have the Runtime Management privilege to perform this task. If you have the Runtime Management Read Access privilege, you cannot perform the task.

About this task

The Connector Listener framework can call the SDK Persistence API to persist properties on the basic runtime shared file system. A <process_id>-connector.properties file will be created in the runtime's execution folder after a listener execution when a property is first set during an execution.

Prior to being able to set persisted properties, you must enable the Persisted Connector Cache option on the basic runtime. Perform the following task on the runtime:

Procedure

1. Select Manage > Runtime Management.

2. Select the runtime from the list on the left.

3. In Settings & Configuration, click Properties.

4. In the Properties panel, click the Advanced tab.

5. Select the Enable Persisted Connector Cache property (com.boomi.container.connector.persistence.enabled), click Add a Property, and select its Property Value check box.

6. Optionally, you can filter out and only allow a specific set of connectors to use persistence on the runtime. Select the (com.boomi.container.connector.persistence.allowList) property, click Add a Property, and enter a comma-separated allow list, for example connectorType1, connectorType2. If you want to allow all connectors to use persistence, skip this step.

7. Click Save.

   Because changes to this property do not take effect until the runtime is restarted, you are prompted to restart. You have the option to restart now or restart later.
