Spring batch admin searches configurations in specific paths.This page explains from which paths it loads resources:

Note that the "override" location has no files in it in Spring Batch Admin distribution. This is a placeholder for users to add their own content.

We managed to load external properties files placing xml configuration file under src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/batch/override/manager/env-context.xml which looks like this:

    
    
        
            
                classpath:/org/springframework/batch/admin/bootstrap/batch.properties
                classpath:batch-default.properties
                classpath:batch-${ENVIRONMENT:hsql}.properties
                classpath:batch-${ENVIRONMENT:mysql}.properties
                
                file:${spring.file.location}
