Bonita Studio preferences

Database clean-up: by default, the database (used by Bonita Engine) preserves all data when Bonita Studio exits. You can override this in order to purge all data instead, which may be useful when you are testing processes.

Organization load: by default, the default organization is loaded with Bonita Studio starts. You can override this.

Coolbar size: Normal (default) or small.

Grid options for process diagrams. You can choose to use a grid positioning for all new process diagrams

Grid spacing (in centimeters). Default: 0.5

Theme: Light or Dark

Bonita Studio language.

Web applications language: the language to use by default when loading process forms and Bonita Portal

The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to used by default. JRE will be used when compiling and running Java code

Validation: whether to validate the process before it runs. We recommend to keep this option enabled.

Start engine server lazily: by default, the engine server is started when the Studio starts up. You may choose not to start the engine until it is actually needed, that is, when you first deploy a new process/organization/BDM/…​ or when you launch the UI Designer for the first time.

Custom page debug mode: When enabled, custom pages classloader are rebuilt at each call. Can be useful when updating custom page source directly from cache folder (<tomcat_folder>/server/temp/bonita_portal_<id>_@hostname/tenants/<tenantId>/pages/<custompage_folder>)

Port number: Studio embedded Tomcat HTTP listening port.

Tomcat Maximum memory allocation (in Mb): the maximum memory allocation (Xmx) for the heap of the JVM running the Tomcat server. Default: 512

Tomcat JVM additional arguments: additional java arguments to be passed to the Tomcat JVM at startup. e.g.: -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemory

UI Designer JVM options: additional java arguments to be passed to the UI Designer at startup. e.g.: -Xmx256m

Manage the JDBC drivers associated with database connectors. You should use that to include JDBC drivers for commercial DBMS (e.g. DB2)

Specify the web browser used when a web page is displayed. Note that some application might override this setting and use a different browser

HTTP Proxy settings for web access

Define the validation to be applied to the different components of your project: Business Data Model, Connector validation, KPI validation, and Processes.

Rename diagram the first time it is saved.

Do not show confirmation on connector definition edition.

SVN connector: the SVN connector used if you are using a remote SVN repository. Note: if you change this your local working copy might become unstable. To avoid this, commit any outstanding changes before you modify the connector setting, and reinitialize your local working copy after the update

Embedded Tomcat listens on the following ports:

Bonita Studio also uses the following port:

Configure logging

Change listening ports (shutdown, AJP, h2) to prevent conflicts

Declare a datasource to connect to a business database

To change a port number, edit server.xml.

To add a data source, edit context.xml or workspace/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/bonita.xml.
