Dynamic system settings data instances
As your Pega Platform system operates, dynamic system settings data instances can be created as needed.
Default 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.
Owning ruleset | 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. |
Other default dynamic system settings
These dynamic system settings have a narrower scope.
Owning ruleset | Name | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Pega-IntegrationEngine | EnableRequestorPools |
Note: If you change this value, you must restart your entire environment for the
change to affect each component node.
When set to either an empty value or true, requestor pools are enabled and available for service request processing. When set to false, requestor pools are disabled, unavailable for service request processing, and are not available to edit. The following systems default to these settings:
For more information, see Requestor pooling for services. |
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 Pega Community 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 Mobile for further information. |
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, in Dev Studio, click to create or update this setting. See System category — Settings page. |
Pega-ProCom | PublicLinkURL | Edit to identify a URL for directed web access, such as
As a best practice, in Dev Studio, click to create or update this setting. 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 | WorkHistoryVersion | When set to 5.1, indicates that a one-time upgrade activity for Version 4.2
work item history instances has completed successfully. Note: 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, in Dev Studio, click to update this property. |
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 colon. As a best practice, in Dev Studio, click to update this property. See System category — Settings page. |
Pega-RULES | idGenerator/defaultBatchSize | Sets the batch size for generating work IDs. The default value is 1000. This
setting applies to all case types and to all nodes in a cluster. This setting only
applies to single-tenant environments and PostgresSQL or AWS Aurora databases.
Note: When work IDs are generated and the batch size is set to 1000, performance
is increased but there might be gaps in the numerical sequence of the IDs. For
example consecutively generated work IDs might come out as TASK-1, Task-1001,
TASK-2001, TASK-2, TASK-1002, TASK-2002. As more work items are created, IDs are
created that fill in the gaps between previous created IDs. If you want fewer gaps
in your work IDs, you can set the idGenerator/defaultBatchSize dynamic system
setting to 100. This value causes fewer gaps in the work IDs but yields a smaller
increase in performance. To eliminate gaps in your work IDs, set the
idGenerator/defaultBatchSize dynamic system setting to 1. Note that setting the
dynamic system setting to 1 might cause low performance.
|
Pega-RULES | idGenerator/<case type's name followed by a hyphen>/batchSize | Overrides the idGenerator/defaultBatchSize setting for a specific case type, for example, idGenerator/WORK-/batchSize. This setting only applies to single-tenant environments and PostgresSQL or AWS Aurora databases. |
Pega-RULES | indexing/dataEnabled | Controls whether data instance indexing for full-text search is enabled. As a best practice, in Dev Studio, click to update this property. |
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, in Dev Studio, click to update this property. |
Pega-RULES | indexing/ruleEnabled | Controls whether rule instance indexing is enabled. As a best practice, in Dev Studio, click to update this property. |
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, in Dev Studio, click to update this property. 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, in Dev Studio, click to update this property. |
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-RULESEngine | pyMaxRecords | Maximum records retrieved for report definitions. |
Pega-RULESEngine | pyQueryTimeoutInterval | See Reporting Category — Settings Page |
Pega-RULESEngine | pyExportMaxRecords | See Reporting Category — Settings Page |
Pega-RULESEngine | pyExportQueryTimeout | See Reporting Category — Settings Page |
Pega-RULESEngine | pyExportNumberOfRecordsAtATime | 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. Note: 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.
|
Pega-IntSvcs | FailOnAddressException | If set to true, ensures that message processing failures are caught. If set to false, ignores processing failures related to message headers. The default setting is true. |
Pega-IntSvcs | xml/removeEmptyPropertiesFromPage | Removes empty properties, including complex types, from the source page before generating the XML stream. |
Pega-DecisionEngine | dataflow/run/events/persist | If set to true, the data flow life cycle events are
written to the database and then deleted every N days, as specified in the
dataflow/run/lifecycleEventsRetentionDay dynamic system
setting. If set to false, the data flow life cycle events are
not written to the database. Note: Only set this dynamic system setting to
false when too many messages are written to the database
in an unstable environment.
