Access to properties file to get the value of a database connection

Hi there.

I'm creating a new Connected System object to connect to an Oracle database. I have to fill the fields related to the Connection URL, User and Password. Considering that when I deploy the application to the production environment I will need to change the connection settings, is there a way to get this information from a properties file instead of setting this object again in the production environment when the application is deployed?

Thanks in advance.

    Yes, when exporting the app, you will be notified to also create a properties file that holds this information. This is a natural part of the deployment process.

    Appian can generate that properties file when exporting the application, and oyu can include the properties (with the new settings) when deploying in another env

    Here;'s an documented example of how to use the customization file for connected system.

    You will need to download the customization file and update it accordingly.
