Miscellaneous Tips

Managing the Cache

You can improve the performance of opentaps by increasing the use of caching. Edit the file framework/base/config/cache.properties and increase the number of milliseconds various things are cached by the system. For example, you can increase the caching of the screens by using these settings:

minilang.SimpleMethodsDirect.expireTime=3600000
minilang.SimpleMethodsResource.expireTime=3600000
minilang.SimpleMethodsURL.expireTime=3600000

script.BshLocationParsedCache.expireTime=3600000
script.BshBsfParsedCache.expireTime=3600000

webapp.BsfEvents.expireTime=3600000
webapp.ControllerConfig.expireTime=3600000

widget.form.locationResource.expireTime=3600000
widget.form.webappResource.expireTime=3600000
widget.menu.classResource.expireTime=3600000
widget.menu.locationResource.expireTime=3600000
widget.menu.webappResource.expireTime=3600000
widget.screen.locationResource.expireTime=3600000
widget.screen.webappResource.expireTime=3600000
widget.tree.locationResource.expireTime=3600000
widget.tree.webappResource.expireTime=3600000

template.ftl.general.expireTime=3600000
template.ftl.location.expireTime=3600000

Turning Off Server Logging

Opentaps by default will log every user requests in a database for later analysis. If you have a lot of users, or a lot of visitors to your website, this will quickly cause the size of your database to grow. To turn off logging, edit the file framework/webapp/config/serverstats.properties and set the flags to false instead of true.

How to Disable Users

Set the UserLogin.enabled to "N" and make sure that the disabledDateTime is set to null. Otherwise, the user login will be re-enabled 15 minutes after the disabledDateTime.

How to change the default ID numbers

Edit the table SequenceValueItem and change the seqId for the table you want. For example, if you want to set all your productIds to begin with "8000000" instead of "10000", just create a row for "Product" with seqId = 8000000
