Viewing or Editing Configuration Parameters

The Configuration window lets you view all of the configuration parameters for TDV.

Special characteristics of parameters are provided in their names or descriptions:

•

Configuration parameters with (Current) in their names are read-only and exist only to display current settings.

•

Configuration parameters with (On Server Restart) in their names change to your new values only when TDV is restarted.

•

Some configuration parameters have descriptions that contain “This value is locally defined. It will not be altered when restoring a backup and will not be replicated in a cluster.” See the Active Cluster Guide for more information about replication in a cluster.

To view or edit configuration parameters

For Viewing, make sure you have Access Tools and Read All Config rights. For editing, make sure you have Access Tools and Modify All Config rights.

Select Administration > Configuration from the Studio Modeler toolbar to open the Configuration window.

The left panel shows a list of folders indicated by a folder icon. You can expand the folders to view the resource tree of configuration parameters. The right panel displays properties for the currently selected parameter.

Click the Expand All button to display the full hierarchy of folders and parameters, or click the triangle to the left of a folder name to expand only that folder.

You can click the Collapse All button to return the display to the five top-level folders.

Select a parameter in the left pane to view its properties in the right pane.

If the parameter value cannot be changed, its icon is dimmed.
