Configuration Settings
This landing page contains settings pertaining to the overall execution infrastructure.
| Outbound Default Data Source | Displays the database instance where the customer table resides and where the application will store execution data (such as data pertaining to Segment and Campaign execution). |
| Outbound DB Preview File Size | Displays the number of records displayed in the preview file when previewing the contents of the data written for a Database Template. |
| Batch Size | Displays the size (number of records) into which back-end processing is batched, in order to leverage performance improvements from vertical and horizontal scalability. |
| Delete Campaign Run data older than X days | Displays the threshold (in number of days) for purging Campaign execution data. This only applies to data for Campaign Runs where all actions are complete. |
| Output File Date Format | Displays the default format to be applied to date fields in a File Template. |
| Global Exclusion List Segment | Displays the Segment that represents the global exclusion list. Customers in this list will be excluded from outbound communication. When no value is specified, the exclusion list feature is disabled. |

| Use Decision Data Source | Specifies whether a decision data store (such as Cassandra) should be utilized to retrieve any customer-centric data which is not required for segmentation. Using decision data sources requires the configuration of a DNode in your system. Review the Pega 7 DNode Cluster Management landing page help topic for details. |
