In this release, the Endeca Server uses two configuration files.
The EndecaServer.properties file sets global-wide parameters for Endeca Server, such as the default locations of mandatory files and directories. The file is located in the $DOMAIN_HOME/config directory. This file is analogous to the Endeca Server version 7.4.x configuration script (endeca-server.windows.conf.bat on Windows or endecaserver. linux.conf on Linux).
The EndecaServer.properties file is automatically created when you create an Endeca Server domain in the WebLogic Server. For the most part, you will not be modifying this file. The file parameters are explained in the Oracle Endeca Server Administrator's Guide.
The EndecaCmd.properties file stores locations of the SSL certificates that are needed for use with the SSL version of the endeca-cmd utility. The file is located in the $DOMAIN_HOME/config directory.
The file is automatically updated with the correct SSL file paths when you run the generate_ssl_keys utility to generate the certificates. This means that you should not have to modify the file. In the Endeca Server cluster, the contents of this file must also be identical on all Endeca Server instances, for the specific data domain.
Note that there is no analogous file in the 7.4.x release.
