People Soft Integration gateway.properties file

Hi All,

In this post, i'll just brief about the integration gateway.properties file present under web server domain and what happens when we access it from PIA under gateway properties.

Did you ever wonder when you access the gateway.properties file from PIA, where is it loaded from ?is it fetched from database or read in from web server domain ?
Also did you encounter that the content you see from PIA and what you see in web server domain are different ?Ever noticed what could be the reason ?

Well here you go :

There is only one integration gateway.properties file per web server domain. It contains the node details that we have configured from gateway properties page, logging details and other information. When we access the nodes listed in gateway properties page, the entries are populated from this file only. likewise, if we make any changes in node entries, same is recorded in gateway.properties file.

The same file is read and loaded when we access it from PIA .Did you find the content is different ?
This could happen only in the case when the webserver given in gateway URL and the one which you are accessing physically are different.

The file is read through a web service and loaded from under the web server which is mentioned in the gateway URL.

In cases it happens that while integration, you have given the higher instances gateway URL which is different from the host instance. In this case when accessed from PIA, gateway.properties file is read from the other web server domain only.So when you compare, the file that you see from PIA and the one you look in the host web domain would certainly be different !!!!

Therefore lets say, you need to change the logging level, go to the web server domain which is given in the gateway URL, find the file and make changes, not in the host web server domain in case these are different.
