Project configuration

Properties files

note

These properties files relate to configuring the ISDA-SIMM Accelerator application.

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

File Purpose
activepivot.remote.properties ActiveMonitor properties
application.yaml Sets port and context for the application
simm.properties General properties
hibernate.properties Hibernate (persistence and query service) properties

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 simm.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 simm-starter/src/test/resources/data folder (a.k.a. don’t expect to see any of them in the WAR generated by the build)…

csvSource.dataset=data

tip

To get started with deployment, for instance, if you are not running the application directly from the IDE, you can copy/paste the whole sample data folder (from source zip) into somewhere accessible by your deployed runtime, and change the configuration in simm.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.

In order to do this, the value for the property contentServer.factory-reset should be set to true in the file simm.properties as below.

contentServer.factory-reset=true

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

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

The accelerator ships with the following two sample content server files:

  • simm-content-server.json - Sample set of bookmarks are for the SA, IMA, PL Attribution and Combined Cube.
  • simm-content-server-query.json - If running on distributed deployment and only the query node is exposed to end users, sample set of bookmarks for the SA, IMA, PL Attribution and Combined Cube to be used in the query node.

ActiveUI

You will need to specify in the ActiveUI configuration file where the ActivePivot 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 a simm_env.js file, which should be updated with the correct server URL:

const SIMM_port = 8080
const SIMM_host = window.location.hostname
const SIMM_path = "/simm-starter"

window.env = {
...
  csServers: [
    {
      name: 'Bookmarks',
      url: 'http://' + SIMM_host + ':' + SIMM_port + SIMM_path,
    }
  ],
  apServers: [
    {
      name: 'SIMM',
      url: 'http://' + SIMM_host + ':' + SIMM_port + SIMM_path,
      csServerName: 'Bookmarks',
    }
  ],
...
}

ActiveMonitor (optional)

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

  • activepivot.remote.properties (simm-starter)

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

# The URL to use to connect to the ActiveMonitor repository
repository.remote.url=http://localhost:12001/simm-activemonitor

# The URL of the current ActivePivot
activepivot.snl.url=http://localhost:12000/simm-starter

  • env.js (simm-activeui)

    # The URL to use to connect to the ActiveMonitor
activeMonitorServerUrl: 'http://localhost:12001/simm-activemonitor',

DoctorPivot Configuration(optional)

  • No changes required
