More than one portal-ext.properties

[Karthik V S, geändert vor 9 Jahren.]

Hi all,

I want to know whether we can have more than one portal-ext.properties file in the tomcat server of liferay. As I want to use 2 databases.

Thanks in advance.

With Regards,

Well, yes and no: While you can have two different portal-ext.properties, they all will be adding to each other. A single installation of Liferay will access one database, with the notable exception that you can configure "database sharding" for multiple Liferay instances - but you don't need multiple portal-ext.properties files for that.

If you're just asking how to use a second database for your business specific functionality (e.g. your own application's database aside of Liferay's database), you can connect to that through whatever means you want - Liferay doesn't have to know of it at all.

For a second database, with its own ServiceBuilder-generated service layer, I like the post here: comment of October 2, 2013 12:12 AM https://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/16407861
