Configuration values

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 you can 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. Use the CV function to access them in an Application Engine process.
