Configuration values
Configuration values enhance the configuration options for Application Engine processes. Configuration values enable Application Engine process designers to implement a set of defined values in a Repository project that are valid for a specific application. Application Engine processes can use these configuration values that are stored on project level when they access a repository database and perform certain actions, for example, connect to a SQL server or an OLAP Server.
In Repository, each project has a node. To administer these project-specific configuration values, select under the project tree: You can add, edit, and remove configuration values.
In the configuration values work space, a list of the existing configuration values within the current project is shown. For each configuration value, this information is shown:
- Unique Name: Shows the unique name of the configuration value. The unique name is an unique identifier of the configuration value within the project. The unique name is used by Application Engine processes to access the configured value.
- Value: Shows the configured value that is identified by its unique name.
- Description: Shows the description of the configuration value.
You can sort the list of configuration values by the Unique Name, Value, and Description columns.
To add a configuration value, click
on the toolbar. A new
line is added to the work space. By default, the unique name of the
configuration value is
ConfigurationValue. To edit the unique name of a
configuration value, double-click the cell in the
Unique Name column and change
the unique name as required.
To edit a configuration value, click the button of a cell in the Value column. Specify a value in the Edit Value dialog and click .
To edit the description of a configuration value, double-click a cell in the Description column and specify a text as required.
To delete a configuration value, select it from the list and click on the toolbar.
