# Integration Properties

Last Updated: July 2024

Integration-related properties may reside in database or property files. Updates of some properties require restart of the integration services to take effect. Refer to [Integration Properties Details](/instruments-and-integrations/integration-properties-update/integration-properties-details.md) for more information.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Clarity v6.3 introduces a new feature (System Setting) for configuring properties (including some integration properties).
{% endhint %}

Refer to table below on the recommended methods of property configuration for different scenarios.
