How to get jira-config.properties effective on nodes in Data Center ?

Question

According to this post I created a jira-config.properties file in my shared home directory to reactivate deprecated Excel export on Jira 7.6.9 .

# cat jira-config.properties
jira.export.excel.enabled=true

I restarted one node of my cluster but the Excel export is still not available when I'm connected on this specific node.

What's the procedure to have these properties taken into account on cluster nodes ?

Thanks

Hi @Eddy Fras,

Yes, please include jira-config.properties file in the respective node home directory

Please visit the below Atlassian Data Center Installation doc to know what all directories, files should be part of the shared home directory.
