RDM Application Properties

This article is intended to serve as a reference point for RDM configuration. As such, it provides an overview of the available properties and, when applicable, refers users to more comprehensive sources. The properties described here are defined in the rdm/etc/application.properties file.

For each property, you will find information about the required data type, its default value, and a short description. The Mandatory column specifies whether a property is required for the application to run and function as expected.

RDM properties

Use the following properties to configure server settings for RDM, specify the type of the repository, and the path to the license.

Name Data type Default value Mandatory Description

ataccama.one.rdm.application.url

String

localhost:8060

The URL of the RDM application.

The value should not contain the HTTP protocol as it is often reused in some other properties.

ataccama.one.rdm.license-folder

String

/home/user.name/

Yes

The path to the folder that contains the license. By default, the application searches for the license in the home directory of the user.

ataccama.one.rdm.api.response.default-count

Number

30

No

The default number of records returned in a single REST API request. Must be equal to or lower than the value of max-count.

In case you need to see more records, specify the number in the REST API request itself (must not exceed the value of max-count).

See also ataccama.one.rdm.api.response.max-count.

Applies starting from 14.5.3.

ataccama.one.rdm.api.response.max-count

Number

1000

No

The maximum number of records that can be returned in a single REST API request.

For each request, you can set how many records are returned in the count field of the filter parameter. If not defined in the request, the number is limited as defined in the property default-count.

If the number used in the request is higher than max-count, the request returns an HTTP 400 Bad Request response status code. To resolve this, increase the value of max-count first.

See also ataccama.one.rdm.api.response.default-count.

Applies starting from 14.5.3.
