Change BTM tlog file location

Question

We're using org.codehaus.btm:btm:2.1.4 for our tests and we're seeing these files appear in our maven module directory (which is the working directory):

• btm1.tlog
• btm2.tlog

I'd like them to be created in another directory, for example in target/btmlogs/. How can I do configure BTM to do that?

Answer 1

You will have to configure the TransactionManager. Relevant part of the configuration

Do it in a file called src/main/resources/bitronix-default-config.properties. Something like this:

# Avoid warnings in test log
bitronix.tm.serverId=foo-bar
# Disable tlog files
bitronix.tm.journal=null
# In case the journal is enabled locally, avoid that the btm1.tlog and btm2.tlog files are created in the module's directory
# causing gitignore, mvn clean and IDE indexing issues
bitronix.tm.journal.disk.logPart1Filename=target/btm/btm1.tlog
bitronix.tm.journal.disk.logPart2Filename=target/btm/btm2.tlog
