CURRENT_PERSISTENCE_SCHEME

The current persistence scheme used to persist to an underlying store. This should remain unchanged unless there are custom persistence layers implemented. Default is set to 2.0

DB_URL

Required: The address of your database server. This will include the host name or IP address followed by the name of the database that you created to store LexEVS data. For example:

DB_URL=jdbc:mysql://{hostname}/{DBNAME}

...where hostname is the name of your server or hostand DBNAME is the name of the database you created for LexEVS within your database software
hostname can also be an IP address hostname can also be followed by a colon and a port number in the case where you have multiple installs on the same server and have changed the port number that the database responds to. There are several options in the file as an example.

DB_PREFIX

The prefix to use on created tables.

The default is lb.

DB_PRIMARY_KEY_STRATEGY

Primary key strategy indicates which strategy will be used for the primary key of the database tables.

Allowable values include:

• GUID Primary Keys are implemented as random GUIDs.
• SEQUENTIAL_INTEGER Primary Keys will be sequentially incremented as Integer values. Starting in 6.0.4 this is the default.
  Sequential Integer Primary Key (SEQUENTIAL_INTEGER) is the best strategy for large loads. This allows the database to insert records into the index in a sequential manner, which is more efficient. If the GUID strategy is used, records will be inserted into the index tree at random locations, resulting in index re-balancing after every insert.

DB_PARAM

Optional variable for passing extra database parameters. These will be appended to the end of the database connection string.

DB_DRIVER

Required: The Java class name that represents the driver that you wish to use with your database.
There are several options in the file as an example.

DB_USER

Required: The database username. This account must have permission to add and remove tables, indexes, etc inside of this database.
This account is typically created during the installation of the database software and is not necessarily a system user ID.

DB_PASSWORD

Required: The password for the database username.

DB_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED

Password encryption can be enabled by setting DB_PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED to true (case
insensitive).
Default and any value other than true is interpreted as false.

SINGLE_TABLE_MODE

LG_CONFIG_FILE

This is not actually a variable that you would set within this file. It is documented here for clarity of other variables that depend on this variable.
Normally, this variable is automatically set (at runtime) to the location of the lbconfig.props file that is being used by the runtime.
Alternatively, you can set the java system variable LG_CONFIG_FILE at system startup to point to the lbconfig.props
file that you want LexEVS to use. Refer to additional documentation in the lbconfig.props file if you need to use this feature.

LG_BASE_PATH

This variable is the path that will be used to resolve any other relative (or unqualified) paths in the lbconfig.props file.
This variable is optional, and should usually be left blank.
If this variable is left blank, it will automatically be set (at runtime) to the location of the folder which contains the lbconfig.props
file that the system was started with.
This variable can also be overridden by setting the java system variable LG_BASE_PATH.
The default value is blank.

JAR_FILE_LOCATION

The path of the folder that contains your SQL drivers and LexEVS extensions (if you have any).
This value can be relative to the LG_BASE_PATH or absolute.
The default is ../../runtime

REGISTRY_FILE

This value is only here for backwards compatibility. It is not needed in versions beyond 6.x.
The location of the file that will store information about all loaded terminologies.
This value can be relative to the LG_BASE_PATH or absolute.
The default is registry.xml.

INDEX_LOCATION

The folder where all LexEVS generated indexes will be stored. This folder can potentially be large
(100+ GB) - depending on the terminologies loaded.
This value can be relative to the LG_BASE_PATH or absolute.
The default is ../lbIndex.

MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_DB

LexEVS maintains a pool of connections to each database that it connects to. This sets the limit on the number
of connections that will be opened. You may want to set this to a higher value - 20 or so (depending on expected user load)
The default is 25.

CACHE_SIZE

LexEVS maintains an internal cache of some information that it needs to query from the database to resolve
queries. This controls the size of that cache. This cache does not hold entire user queries.
The default size is 500.

ITERATOR_IDLE_TIME

The length of time to allow an unused (and unclosed) iterator to stay valid before it is closed (and its resources freed) by the system.
The default is 5 minutes.

MAX_RESULT_SIZE

This controls the maximum number of results that a user can resolve at one time for the CodedNodeSets and CodedNodeGraphs.
This does not affect the total number of results that can be returned by an iterator, just the size that can be returned on the next API call.
The default is 1000.

LUCENE_MAX_CLAUSE_COUNT

The number of boolean clauses Lucene will attempt to create for wildcard or Regular Expression queries.
For very general queries on large ontologies, this will need to be set high.
The default is 40000.

LOG_FILE_LOCATION

The path where LexEVS log files will be written.
This value can be relative to the LG_BASE_PATH or absolute.
The default is ../../logs.

API_LOG_ENABLED

Setting API call logging to true will cause every method call to be printed to the log file.
The default is false.

SQL_LOG_ENABLED

Setting SQL logging to true will cause every sql statement executed to be printed to the log file.
The default is false.

DEBUG_ENABLE

Setting debug to true will give you more verbose logging information to debug problems.
This should normally be set to false since debug logging causes a negative performance impact.
The default is false.

LOG_CHANGE

Indicates when a new log file should be started. This can be set to monthly, weekly or daily.
This can also be set to a number which will cause it to start a new log file whenever it reaches the specified number of MB in size.
The default is 5 MB.

ERASE_LOGS_AFTER

If LOG_CHANGE is set to daily, weekly, or monthly, this variable instructs
the logging service to remove log files that have not been written to in the specified amount of days.
If LOG_CHANGE is set to a number of MB then this variable specifies the number of old log files
that will be kept. The unit is treated as days regardless of the LOG_CHANGE value.
Cleanup will only occur on restart of the JVM.
The default is 5 files.
