You set configuration options for the Sentinel provisioning application using a properties file. On startup, the Sentinel provisioning server tries to read this file:

${REM_HOME}/sentinel-provisioning-config.properties

By default, this file does not exist, and Sentinel uses default options. To configure provisioning options:

  1. create this file

  2. add the property definitions you want to customize.

You can also configure Sentinel EM to provision data in an external database.

Provisioning data in an external database

If any of the Sentinel data (such as subscriber data records, home zone zones, or promotion buckets) is stored in an external database, Sentinel EM will need to be configured to connect to it directly.
