Rules for consolidation parameters

If a parameter value is set through multiple locations:

• A parameter value set through a script request line or the Consolidation page option on the web is considered a scripted value. A scripted value overrides values set for the same parameter via CPM Server properties or the SYS_PARAMS table.
• If the same parameter is set through the CPM Server properties and the SYS_PARAMS table and there is no scripted value available, the SYS_PARAMS value overrides the value set through the CPM Server properties.
• The name of the parameter can vary slightly between locations (for example, a CPM Server property and scripting parameter is specified as DoLocalAuto, whereas its web counterpart is named Skip Local Consolidations).
• The parameter value can vary between locations. For example, a script can request a DefaultExchangeFactor of 0 when the property's default value is 1.0.
