Option 7: Migrating Custom Placeholders (= Global Parameters)

General Information

The migration of custom placeholders to global parameters is only required for updates from version 7.2.1 and lower to versions 7.3.1 and higher

The custom placeholders from the existing X4 BPMS installation are migrated to the new X4 BPMS installation as global parameters.

With X4 BPMS version 7.3.1, the custom placeholders have been renamed global parameters.

The custom placeholder update requires the JDBC URL, database user, and password. This information is included in the standalone.xml file in the <Server_directory>\wildfly\standalone\configuration folder in the <datasources> tag.

We recommend using a database type other than H2DB.

Depending on the database you use, your JDBC URL might look like this:

• SQL Server: jdbc:sqlserver://<ip_adress>:<port>

• PostgreSQL: jdbc:postgres://<ip_adress>:<port>

• SQLite: jdbc:sqlite:<path/to/sqlitedb/x4.sqlite.db>

• H2DB: jdbc:h2:<path/to/H2DB/x4.h2.db
