warning

Changes to some system properties have a dramatic impact on the system — a wrong value can break the application. Generally, you should leave system properties unchanged unless you're asked to change it by Support. You might also change a system property value if the change is part of a more significant effort to customize the application.

The following is a list of system properties that are set by default when you install Jive.
