Publisher client component

Table of contents 

Description

This component is used to view and start projects that have been published to an environment database by the Publisher. The published projects are shown in the dashboard of the Development tools component. When the server is started, the Publisher clients loads the published projects from the configured environment database. A task runs in the background that checks periodically (by default every 60 seconds) whether projects are updated, added, or deleted. When there is a change, the the published projects are reloaded.

Requirements

The "publisher-client" and the "externaldatasources" or "jndidatasources" profile must be enabled.

#blueriq.publisher-client.environmentName: The name of the environment (required). This MUST be the same name as the name of the environment in the Publisher configuration.
#blueriq.datasource.publisher-client.url=The URL on which to locate the database to connect to.
#blueriq.datasource.publisher-client.username=The username to use to connect to the database.
#blueriq.datasource.publisher-client.password=The password to use to connect to the database.
#blueriq.datasource.publisher-client.driverClassName=The vendor specific database driver classname.

#EXAMPLE

blueriq.datasource.publisher-client.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@DB_HOST:1521:xe
blueriq.datasource.publisher-client.username=TheKey
blueriq.datasource.publisher-client.password=TheSecret
blueriq.datasource.publisher-client.driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
