Properties files

note

These properties files relate to configuring the FRTB Accelerator application. For details of properties files for configuring inputs to the calculations, see Configuration files.

Location: The application properties files are provided in the frtb-starter module in the frtb-starter/src/main/resources/ directory

File Purpose
activepivot.remote.properties ActiveMonitor properties
application.yaml Sets port and context for the application
frtb.properties General properties
frtb-config.properties Cube levels for postprocessors and constant values used in tuple publishers and postprocessors
hibernate.properties Hibernate (persistence and query service) properties
signoff.properties General Sign-off module configurations
signoff.export.properties Sign-off export configurations

Data Files

You will need to specify where your CSV files are placed. In the default implementation, the CSV files are required to provide ActivePivot with the necessary data and configuration to do the calculations in the Accelerator.

All the files need to be kept under one directory of your choice anywhere on the file system. The path to this directory needs to be specified in frtb.properties. The below property needs to be updated to specify an accessible directory containing the necessary files.

Example

Sample files can be found in the frtb-starter/src/test/resources/data folder.

note

These files can’t be found in the WAR generated by the build.

csvSource.dataset=data

tip

To get started with deployment (e.g. if you are not running the application directly from the IDE) you can easily copy/paste the whole sample data folder (from source zip) into somewhere accessible by your deployed runtime, and change the configuration in frtb.properties accordingly to point to that data.

Bookmarks

If you want to replace the bookmarks you have persisted in your content server, you can override all the content of the content server with content from a JSON file when the ActivePivot instance starts up.

To do this, in frtb.properties, set the value of the contentServer.factory-reset property to true:

contentServer.factory-reset=true

The data loaded into the content server is imported from a json file. The json file loaded by default is frtb-content-server.json. It is specified in frtb.properties as below:

contentServer.factory-reset.filename=frtb-content-server.json

FRTB Accelerator provides a directory for the bookmarks which can be loaded using the contentServer.factory-reset=folder and contentServer.factory-reset.folder-name=dir-name.

See the bookmarks.zip in the distribution files for this release.

ActiveUI

You will need to specify in the Atoti UI configuration file where the Atoti Server project is running.

note

The end-user’s browser will be connecting to the URL you specify here, so you should specify the exact host name as opposed to localhost.

The standalone application contains an frtb_env.js file which will need to be updated with the correct server URL:

const FRTB_port = 8080
const FRTB_host = window.location.hostname
const FRTB_path = "/frtb-starter"

window.env = {
...
  csServers: [
    {
      name: 'Bookmarks',
      url: 'http://' + FRTB_host + ':' + FRTB_port + FRTB_path,
    }
  ],
  apServers: [
    {
      name: 'FRTB',
      url: 'http://' + FRTB_host + ':' + FRTB_port + FRTB_path,
      csServerName: 'Bookmarks',
    }
  ],
...
}

ActiveMonitor (optional)

If you choose to deploy ActiveMonitor, you will need to modify the following properties files:

  • activepivot.remote.properties (frtb-starter)

    # The URL to use to connect to the ActiveMonitor
sentinel.remote.url=http://localhost:8081/frtb-activemonitor

# The URL to use to connect to the ActiveMonitor repository
repository.remote.url=http://localhost:8081/frtb-activemonitor

# The URL of the current ActivePivot
activepivot.snl.url=http://localhost:8080/frtb-starter

  • env.js (frtb-activeui)

    # The URL to use to connect to the ActiveMonitor
activeMonitorServerUrl: 'http://localhost:8081/frtb-activemonitor',

DoctorPivot Configuration(optional)

  • No changes required
