A Foundation DBUtils JSON configuration file contains configuration information used by the Foundation DBUtils application when creating an OnBase database. For example, the Foundation DBUtils JSON configuration file can contain connection string settings, password settings, logging configuration settings, and tablespace options.
A default JSON configuration file, called appsettings.json, is included with the Foundation DBUtils application. By default, this file is stored in the same directory as the application. If you use the default JSON configuration file, be aware that you must still edit settings as necessary to accommodate your solution. You can also create a custom JSON configuration file. Note the following:
-
In order for the options in a custom JSON configuration file to be respected, you must apply the --configoverride switch when running the Foundation DBUtils application. See --configoverride for more information.
-
Any options specified in a custom JSON configuration file override the corresponding option specifications in the default appsettings.json configuration file.
-
Any options specified by applying command line switches override the corresponding option specifications in any default or custom JSON configuration files. See Running Foundation DBUtils from the Command Line for more information.
For more information on editing the settings in the default or a custom JSON configuration file, see Modifying the JSON Configuration File.
