Default configuration changes

The mapper.properties file is checked for changes only on these instances:

  • When Mapper is (re)started

  • When you refresh Mapper without restarting

If the mapper.properties file is changed, the Default Configuration Refresh dialog box is displayed. You must confirm whether to accept or reject the property file edits.

If you accept the changes, preferences for Database Connectivity (only for advanced mode), Server Connectivity, and Type Definitions are immediately updated from the file mapper.properties.

To check for mapper.properties file updates without restarting Mapper:

  1. Select Window > Preferences > Mapper > Default Configuration.

    By default, the path to the file mapper.properties is specified.

  2. Click the Refresh button for the File field in Default Configuration section.

    The file mapper.properties is checked for changes.
