By default, OpenIDM polls the JSON files in the
conf directory periodically for any changes to
the configuration. In a production system, it is recommended that
you disable automatic polling for updates to prevent untested
configuration changes from disrupting your identity service.
To disable automatic polling for configuration changes, edit the
conf/system.properties file by uncommenting the
following line:
# openidm.fileinstall.enabled=false
Before you disable automatic polling, you must have started the OpenIDM instance at least once to ensure that the configuration has been loaded into the database.
Note that scripts are loaded each time the configuration calls the script. Modifications to scripts are therefore not applied dynamically. If you modify a script, you must either modify the configuration that calls the script, or restart the component that uses the modified script. You do not need to restart OpenIDM for script modifications to take effect.
