Specifying How the SRC-VTA Loads Configurations from the Directory

Bootstrap properties specify how the SRC-VTA loads configurations from the directory. If you install the directory on a different host than the J2EE application server, you must modify the bootstrap properties to specify the directory host.

To configure the bootstrap properties for each VTA:

  1. Create a folder for the VTA on a host.
      mkdir vta
  2. Copy the EAR file for the VTA from the archive file to the folder that you created in Step 1.
  3. From the EAR file, extract the file vtacore.jar into the folder you created.
      cd vta
      jar xvf quotavta.ear vtacore.jar
  4. From the file vtacore.jar, extract the file META-INF/ejb-jar.xml.
      jar xvf vtacore.jar META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  5. In the folder that you created in Step 1, edit the META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file.

    See Properties in ejb-jar.xml file for information about the properties in this file.

  6. Replace the file META-INF/ejb-jar.xml in the file vtacore.jar.
      jar uvf vtacore.jar META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
  7. Replace the file vtacore.jar in the EAR file.
      jar uvf quotavta.ear vtacore.jar
