Configuring the Runtime

This section covers development-time configuration of the Talon runtime environment. These are settings you specify in your DDL (configuration XML), annotations, and system properties during development, before deployment.

Scope of This Section

Development-Time Configuration includes:

  • DDL parameters that control runtime behavior

  • Settings specified in your config.xml during development

  • Annotation-driven configuration in your code

  • System properties that affect runtime operation

This is distinct from runtime operations covered in Operating Applications, which focuses on administering, monitoring, and troubleshooting deployed microservices.

Development vs Operations

Development-Time (This Section)
Runtime Operations

When: During development, in DDL/code

When: After deployment, with running services

How: DDL XML, annotations, properties

How: Admin tools, viewing output, analyzing logs

Example: Configure heartbeat interval

Example: View heartbeat statistics

Example: Enable transaction latency stats

Example: Analyze transaction performance

Example: Set up Admin over SMA

Example: Use admin tool to manage services
