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 that are valid for a specific application. Application Engine processes can use these configuration values when they access a database and perform certain actions, for example, connect to a SQL server or an OLAP Server.

You can use configuration values to centrally define database credentials instead of hard coding them in an Application Engine process or pass them as parameters to a process. You can define and manage these database credentials in the Configuration Values widget of the Global Settings folder and access them in an Application Engine process by using the CV function.
