Bimport.properties

Only Horizon users need this file. It is a mandatory file for Horizon users. Note: If you need to move your bimport to an instance other than the actual horizon server, set the PATH variable to include the bimport path in bimport.properties.

   <entry key="mail-type">dom</entry>        // Default mail type. So far this seems to be a static value for all Horizon instances TODO move this to default.properties.

   <entry key="indexed">true</entry>         // This switch bypasses the requirement that the match column must be in
                             // a unique SQL index. When you use this switch, the match column can
                             // be in any SQL index. This means that Borrower Import can work with
                             // the second_id column. (The borrower triggers ensure that any non-null
                             // second_id values in the borrower table are unique.)
