Enabling liveConfig in ATG

Question

Hello,
If I enable liveconfig in ATG, will I still be able to update the properties file from ACC and will the localconfig get created ?

Answer 1

There are several out-of-the-box settings that are better for performance with LiveConfig turned on. These include settings for checking intervals for changed pages and checking for changed property files, as well as turning off performance monitor and setting the client lock manager to be used.
Specifically, it overrides the following properties.
configurationCheckMilliseconds=10000
-to-
configurationCheckMilliseconds=-1
checkFileNameCase=false
-to-
checkFileNameCase=false (yes, this one is the same, but it is mentioned in each property file).
The following two properties are included in liveconfig (EARFILE/atg_bootstrap.war/WEB-INF/ATG-INF/DAS/liveconfig/Nucleus.properties) that are not in the default config.jar (EARFILE/atg_bootstrap.war/WEB-INF/ATG-INF/DAS/config/config.jar)
registerNucleusShutdownHook=true allowReloadableComponents=false
Below are the contents of each file.
DEFAULT
$class=atg.nucleus.Nucleus preInitialServiceName=/PreInitial initialServiceName=/Initial loggingError=true loggingWarning=true loggingInfo=false loggingDebug=false GCAfterStartup=true configurationCheckMilliseconds=10000 checkFileNameCase=false useJavaConfigurationFinder=false registerRequestComponents=false registerSessionComponents=false messageSource=/atg/dynamo/messaging/DynamoMessageSource defaultRegion=US warningAboutImproperScopeAccess=true componentLockManager=/atg/dynamo/service/ComponentLockManager debugComponentLocking=false additionalComponentListeners+=/atg/dynamo/service/ComponentConfigurationPrefetcher adminServletConfigurationPath=/atg/dynamo/admin/AdminServletConfiguration
LIVECONFIG
configurationCheckMilliseconds=-1 checkFileNameCase=false registerNucleusShutdownHook=true allowReloadableComponents=false
The liveconfig directory will not exist in an EAR file that was not built with the “-liveconfig” switch to runAssembler.
