A System Settings rule records settings for application-related runtime settings that may differ in production systems from development systems.
Each system setting rule is first defined in a standard ruleset, such as Pega-ProCom. Often, the standard rule contains values appropriate for your system and no action is required. However, when necessary, you can copy the standard rule and then update the Settings tab with values appropriate for your system.
Note: System settings rules (Rule-Admin-System-Settings rule type) differ from Dynamic Systems Settings data instances (Data-Admin-System-Settings) and the setting rules (Rule-Access-Setting rule type, which is used with security. However, the three are related, and in certain cases, the data instances can override values supplied in the corresponding rule.
Use the Records Explorer to list the System Settings rules that are available to you.
System Settings rules belong to the SysAdmin category. They are instances of the Rule-Admin-System-Settings rule type.
