AWI configuration properties

Discovering AWI configuration properties

To get a complete list of AWI configuration properties, enable log level TRACE, and then run this script on the resultant AWI log file.

awi_log_file=$1
echo "Property;Value;Default;Variable"
while read line
do
        property=$(echo $line | awk -F' -> ' '{print $1}')
        value_and_default=$(echo $line | awk -F' -> ' '{print $2}')
        value=$(echo "$value_and_default" | awk -F' ' '{print $1}')
        default=$(echo "$value_and_default" | awk -F' ' '{print $2}' | sed 's/^.//')
        variable="AUTOMIC_$(echo "${property//./_}" | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')"
        echo "$property;$value;$default;$variable"
done <<< $(awk -F 'Loaded configuration value:' '{print $2}' $awi_log_file | sort | uniq)

This script looks for lines like this in the AWI log:

2025-08-07 09:02:47,306 qtp1263800094-23162    [TRACE] NOLOGIN/- NOUI   [com.uc4.webui.common.properties.Configurable] -
Loaded configuration value: trace.level -> 3 (0 default)

It strips away everything before Loaded configuration value: , and parses the remaining text to output the following pieces of information, separated by semicolons:

• property name
• current value
• default value
• the corresponding environment variable name for use in container-based environments (e.g., Kubernetes)

You can then import this text into a spreadsheet app such as Excel. Here's a sample of the output.

Property	Value	Default	Environment variable
ae.max.widget.activites	null	100	AUTOMIC_AE_MAX_WIDGET_ACTIVITES
asyncLoadingTimeoutMilliseconds	360000	180000	AUTOMIC_ASYNCLOADINGTIMEOUTMILLISECONDS
autofill.cookie.allowed	null	true	AUTOMIC_AUTOFILL_COOKIE_ALLOWED
automationEngineConnectionReconnect	null	true	AUTOMIC_AUTOMATIONENGINECONNECTIONRECONNECT
automationEngineConnectionStrategy	null	random	AUTOMIC_AUTOMATIONENGINECONNECTIONSTRATEGY
automationEngine.index	null	-1	AUTOMIC_AUTOMATIONENGINE_INDEX
automationEngineOpenConnectionTimeoutMilliseconds	360000	10000	AUTOMIC_AUTOMATIONENGINEOPENCONNECTIONTIMEOUTMILLISECONDS
automationEngineTimeoutMilliseconds	360000	180000	AUTOMIC_AUTOMATIONENGINETIMEOUTMILLISECONDS
cache	null	3600	AUTOMIC_CACHE
connection.name	null	null	AUTOMIC_CONNECTION_NAME
cookie.maxAge	null	1209600	AUTOMIC_COOKIE_MAXAGE
csp.enabled	null	false	AUTOMIC_CSP_ENABLED
csp.whitelist	null		AUTOMIC_CSP_WHITELIST
customHomeDashboardsFolder	null	DASHBOARDS	AUTOMIC_CUSTOMHOMEDASHBOARDSFOLDER
debug	true	false	AUTOMIC_DEBUG

Note that not all AWI configuration properties are documented. Altering undocumented properties may not be supported by the vendor.

[Michael A. Lowry]

Discovering all AWI configuration properties in an AAKE environment is somewhat complicated by the fact that there appears to be no straightforward way to enable AWI tracing at application startup. The application reliably prints all Loaded configuration value messages only at application startup.

See the discussion Setting AWI log level in AAKE for details.
