What is the recommended action for specifying customized settings in ActiveGate?

Specifying customized settings in ActiveGate is best achieved by copying section titles and properties to a custom.properties file. This method ensures that your custom configurations are applied without altering the default settings. By creating a custom.properties file, you maintain a clear separation between default configurations and those tailored to your specific requirements.

This approach also enhances maintainability and reduces the risk of issues arising from direct modifications to the default config.properties file, which could lead to unintended consequences if there's a need to update or revert to the original settings. Additionally, using a custom properties file allows for easier tracking of changes and ensures that they are preserved across updates or deployments.
