Description |
Default Value |
RootDirectoryName |
The
directory where the Session Failover Service stores the files containing the
serialized data when file persistence is specified (that is, when the value of
the PersistentStorage property is File). The path is relative to
the <SAPj2eeEngine_install_dir>/ |
../shared/httpFailover |
PersistentStorage |
Specifies the kind of persistent storage that will be used. The possible values for this property are: · Database – the serialized data will be stored in the database; · File – the serialized data will be stored in the file system. |
Database |

If you change the values of these properties at application runtime, you risk losing data that is already serialized. It is recommended that you do not change these properties at runtime.
