How to use environment variables in tafj.properties for standalone TAFJ

Question

Is there a way to use environment variables in the tafj.properties setup file when running standalone Temenos TAFJ? I want to configure few things outside the tafj.properties so it can be easily changed without the modification of the tafj.properties file itself. I know that this file will pickup the TAFJ_HOME environment variable if it is initialized, but I would also like to parametrize DB connection URL, password and other things, so they are not stored as text inside tafj.properties.

You can specify using the command line arguments, TAFJ will accept these command line arguments.

For example, pass variables with -D option as java command line parameters (%JAVA_OPTS% environment variable is sometimes used by scripts):

set JAVA_OPTS=-Dtemn.tafj.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/r18
