You can change global and project-specific VIA properties and settings through the following configuration files:

Configuration file Location Properties and settings 
via.properties

the configuration subfolder of the VIA installation directory

global VIA configuration properties and settings, including:

  • font and color settings for diagram elements

  • pre-defined IN and SIP variable names (such as initial-dp.service-key or connect.calling-party-number), for variable selection boxes throughout the VIA GUI

  • other settings (such as the RMI timeout).

 
.sis

the base folder of each VIA project in the workspace

project-specific VIA configuration properties and settings, including:

You need to restart the VIA to effect any changes to its configuration files.

To include a new variable to the variable-selection boxes throughout the VIA GUI, you would add its name to the semicolon-separated list of variable names of one or more of the following properties in via.properties:

in_sis_writable_variables=...
in_sis_variables=...
sip_sis_variables=...
sip_sis_writable_variables=...

Although it’s discouraged, you could instead manually add a service reference to a local service for a project — by adding the reference string, in the following format, to the list of references in the property service-refs in the project’s .scim file:

service-refs=<service-ref-name>;local;<service-name>;<service-vendor>;<service-version>@...
