As your Pega Platform system operates, these and other Dynamic System Settings instances can be created as needed.
Consult the Configuration Settings Reference on the PDN for additional details on specific Dynamic System Settings instances.
Dynamic System Settings that have Pega-Engine as theOwning RuleSetand key names that start with prconfig are known as prconfig settings.
Be careful when making any updates because these settings can significantly impact the operation of your Pega Platform system.
Name |
Purpose |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/agent/enable/default | Enables application agents. |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/identification/systemName/default | Sets the name of the Data-Admin-System instance for the server. |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/initialization/displayExceptionTraceback/default | Controls the display of stack trace information in exception screens. |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/initialization/explicitTempDir/default | Specifies the full path name to use as the temporary directory. |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/initialization/persistRequestor/default | Sets the conditions for the system saving a user's requestor context. |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/initServices/initEmail/default | Enables email listeners on startup, as defined in Data-Admin-Connect-EmailListener |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/initServices/initFile/default | Enables file listeners on startup, as defined in Data-Admin-Connect-FileListener |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/initServices/initJMS/default | Enables JMS listeners on startup, as defined in Data-Admin-Connect-JMSListener |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/initServices/initMQ/default | Enables MQ listeners on startup, as defined in Data-Admin-Connect-MQListener |
Pega-Engine.prconfig/pradapter/loggingLevel/default | Specifies the level of tracing for output to the system log. This setting overwrites the setting located in the JVM properties file. |
These Dynamic System Settings have narrower scope.
Name |
Purpose |
Pega-IntegrationEngine. disableEpochDateTime |
When a datetime property is set to an empty value, it returns the epoch datetime (01-jan-1970) by default. Set this value to true to have the property return no value. |
Pega-Desktop.AllowAccessToExternalSystem | Used to control calls to external system such as PDN when logging into designer studio. By default, this setting is set to true. |
Pega-EndUserUI.weblogin/mobile/enabletouchid |
Enables Touch ID fingerprint recognition feature on supported iOS devices. It is used to log in to a Pega Platform mobile app, bypassing the need to manually enter user credentials each time. Changing this setting to false disables this feature and hides the Use Touch Id check box on the Login screen. See Touch ID support and Pega Mobility for further information. |
Pega-ProcessEngine.pyEmailMaxResends | |
Pega-ProCom.ProComHelpURI |
Identifies the property containing the root URI of this Application Developer Help system. Determined during installation. As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Resource URLs to create or update this data instance. |
Pega-ProCom.PublicLinkURL |
Edit to identify a URL for directed web access, such as http://mysystem:8081/prweb/ As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Resource URLs to create or update this data instance. See Directed Web Access and System category — Settings page. |
Pega-ProCom.pyUseGoalTimeForAvailabilityCalculation |
If true, the assignment's goal time is compared to the assignment's start time and effort estimate to determine operator availability. |
Pega-ProCom.SystemManagementURI |
Identifies the root URI of the System Management application. Established during installation. As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Resource URLs to create or update this data instance. |
Pega-ProCom.WorkHistoryVersion |
When set to 5.1, indicates that a one-time upgrade activity for Version 4.2 work item history instances has completed successfully. The upgrade is not necessary on systems that contain no Version 4.2 work item history instances. |
Pega-RULES.compiler/defaultClasses |
Supports Service Java rules and other custom Java code. A list of Java classes that are added to the compile-time classpath for the compiler used to compile the generated Java. This allows service activities to call such classes. For Windows systems, separate the Java classes with a colon. For UNIX systems, separate the Java classes with a semicolon. As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Compiler to create or update this data instance. |
Pega-RULES.compiler/defaultPaths |
Supports Service Java rules and other handcrafted Java code. A list of jar files that are added to the compile-time classpath for the compiler used to compile the generated Java. This allows service activities to call the classes in external JAR files. For Windows systems, separate the JAR files with a colon. For UNIX systems, separate the JAR files with a semicolon. As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Compiler to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page. See PDN article About the Process Commander class paths. |
Pega-RULES.indexing/dataEnabled |
Controls whether data instance indexing for full-text search is enabled. As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. |
Pega-RULES.indexing/hostname |
In a multi-node cluster, identifies the internal node name (a hash value) of the node that supports Elasticsearch full-text indexing. As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. |
Pega-RULES.indexing/ruleEnabled |
Controls whether rule instance indexing is enabled. See As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. |
Pega-RULES.indexing/updatetime | Records the date and time of the last comprehensive index build. |
Pega-RULES.indexing/workEnabled |
Controls whether work item indexing is enabled. As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. |
Pega-RULES.SearchSoapURI |
In a multi-node cluster, records the URI to be used in SOAP-based communications among nodes to support full-text searches. As a best practice, select Designer Studio > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. |
Pega-RULES.usage/usagetrackingenabled |
Enables or disables usage tracking. Initial value is true. See How to analyze system-wide usage with the Log-Usage class. |
Pega-RULESEnginepyMaxRecords |
Maximum records retrieved for report definitions. |
Pega-RULESEnginepyQueryTimeoutInterval | See Reporting Category — Settings Page |
Pega-RULESEnginepyExportMaxRecords | See Reporting Category — Settings Page |
Pega-RULESEnginepyExportQueryTimeout | See Reporting Category — Settings Page |
Pega-RULESEnginepyExportNumberOfRecordsAtATime |
Specifies the number of records exported at one time. The default setting is 5,000 records. |
Pega-IntSvcs.Email/AddLegacyHeaders |
Appends old email headers to new headers if the value is true, and does not append if the value is blank or not set to true. The new email header for the old header PegaAttachmentID is X-PegaAttachmentID, for Email-Handle is X-PegaEmail-Handle, and for Work-Handle is X-PegaWork-Handle. |
