Adding a Dynamic System Setting

You can add a Dynamic System Setting (DSS) to change default system behavior. For example, by default, encryption and authentication are not enabled for communication among search nodes. To enable encryption, create the indexing/distributed/enable-inter_node_encryption DSS and set it to true.

  1. Click + Create > SysAdmin > Dynamic System Settings.
  2. Enter a short description for the setting.
  3. In the Owning Ruleset field, enter the owning ruleset, for example, Pega-RULES.
  4. In the Setting Purpose field, enter the name of the setting, for example, indexing/distributed/enable-inter_node_encryption.
  5. Click Create and open.
  6. In the Value field, enter the value for the setting. For example, true for a Boolean value, or 100 for timeout value.
  7. Click Save.
