As a best practice, set system configuration settings by using dynamic system settings data instances. For example, you can use a dynamic system settings to configure which fields are available in full-text search. Dynamic system settings are stored in the Pega Platform database and are used by all nodes that share that database.

• Creating a dynamic system setting

  Add a dynamic system settings rule to change default system behavior.

• Editing a dynamic system setting

  You can change the default value of a dynamic system setting.

• Java methods for dynamic system settings and application settings

  Some dynamic system settings instances are created automatically during installation or upgrade of a Pega Platform system. However, your application can also create, set, or query instances of this class using Java methods in the PublicAPI PRSystemSettings interface.

• Dynamic system settings data instances

  As your Pega Platform system operates, dynamic system settings data instances can be created as needed.

• Updating dynamic system settings by submitting a request to an active instance

  You can use the prpcServiceUtils tool to update dynamic system setting values, using a web service to connect to an active instance of Pega Platform.

• Updating dynamic system settings by using a direct connection to the database

  To automate updating dynamic system settings by connecting directly to the database, complete the following steps. This method is most commonly done for a stopped instance.

• Configuring your system
• Changing node settings by modifying the prconfig.xml file
