Configuring System Settings

You can set or change system configuration settings by using Dynamic System Settings instances or by modifying system settings in the prconfig.xml file. Settings configured by using Dynamic System Settings are stored in the PegaRULES database and are used by all nodes that share that database. Settings that are configured in the prconfig.xml file can be applied to a subset of nodes.

Most system configuration settings in the prconfig.xml file can be stored in a Dynamic System Setting instance, which is the preferred method for maintaining system configuration settings.

Dynamic System Settings have the following advantages over using the prconfig.xml file:

• You can change the value of Dynamic System Settings without redeploying the application, whereras editing the prconfig.xml file requires redeploying the application.
• In a multi-node system, the same Dynamic System Settings can be used by all the nodes that are sharing the database, making system administration easier.
