Atlas — Initial Dynamic System Setting data instances

As your Pega 7 system operates, these and other dynamic system settings instances may be created as needed. Consult the Configuration Settings Reference on the PDN for additional details on specific Dynamic System Settings instances.

Initial PRCONFIG dynamic system settings

Dynamic system settings that have Pega-Engine as the Owning RuleSet and key names that start with prconfig are known as prconfig settings.

Caution: Change these settings with care. These settings can have broad impact on the operation of your system. See How to create or update a prconfig setting.

Other initial dynamic system settings

These dynamic system settings have narrower scope.

Name

Purpose
disableEpochDateTime/
Pega-IntegrationEngine

When a datetime property is set and the value is empty, it will by default return the epoch datetime (01-jan-1970). 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 7 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 Pega Mobility.
Pega-ProcessEngine.
pyEmailMaxResends

See More about Email Accounts.
Pega-ProCom.
ProComHelpURI

Identifies the property containing the root URI of this Application Developer Help system. Determined during installation. As a best practice, select > System > Settings > Resource URLs to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page.
Pega-ProCom.
PublicLinkURL

Edit to identify a URL for directed Web access, such as

http://mysystem:8081/prweb/

As a best practice, select > System > Settings > Resource URLs to create or update this data instance.See How to provide external assignments through directed Web access and System category — Settings page.
Pega-ProCom.
pyUseGoalTimeFor
AvailabilityCalculation 		If true, the assignment's goal time is compared to the assignment's start time and effort estimate to determine operator availability. See Operator form — Completing the Work Settings tab.
Pega-ProCom.
SystemManagementURI 		Identifies the root URI of the System Management application. Established during installation. As a best practice, select > System > Settings > Resource URLs to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page.
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 handcrafted 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.

As a best practice, select > System > Settings > Compiler to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page.

In Version 4, this setting was stored in the pegarules.xml file.

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. As a best practice, select > System > Settings > Compiler to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page.

See the PDN article About the Process Commander class paths.In Version 4, similar settings were stored in the pegarules.xml file.

Pega-RULES.
indexing/dataEnabled

Controls whether data instance indexing for full-text search is enabled. As a best practice, select > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page.

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 > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page
Pega-RULES.
indexing/ruleEnabled 		Controls whether rule instance indexing is enabled. See As a best practice, select > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page.
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. See As a best practice, select > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page..
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 > System > Settings > Search to create or update this data instance. See System category — Settings page.
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.
