An administrator can use configurable properties to update target-dependent properties that are associated with a solution, such as queue names, queue manager names, and database connections.
Create a BAR file and add resources to it. For more information, see Creating a BAR file and Adding resources to a BAR file.
By changing configurable properties, you can customize a BAR file for a new integration node (for example, a test system) without editing and rebuilding the message flows or the resources that they use, such as message mappings, ESQL code, and Java™ code. For example, if you select an application, you can set the start mode for that application, or you can enable or disable Java isolation. If you select a message flow, you can change properties for policy sets, monitoring, and the security profile. You can also expand a message flow and set properties for the nodes in that flow. For information about the configurable properties that you can set, see Configurable properties in a BAR file.
Properties that you define are contained in the deployment descriptor file (META-INF/broker.xml). The deployment descriptor is parsed when the BAR file is deployed.
