General Information
The migration of custom placeholders to global parameters is only required for updates from version 7.2.1 and below to versions 7.3.1 and above.
The custom placeholders from the existing X4 BPMS installation are migrated as global parameters to the new X4 BPMS installation.
With X4 BPMS version 7.3.1, the custom placeholders have been renamed to global parameters.
The custom placeholder update requires the JDBC URL, database user, and password. This information is contained in the standalone.xml file in the folder <server_directory>\WildFly\standalone\configuration 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
