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.
- Create one or more .json files that specify the names and new values of the dynamic
system settings.
- The specified dynamic system setting names must be valid.
- One or more dynamic system settings can be specified in each file.
- You must specify the setting value, setting name, and owning ruleset for each
dynamic system setting to be updated, in the format:
{"dass":[ {"pySetting":"DASSValue1","pyPurpose":"DASSName1","pyOwner":"DASS1Owner"}, {"pySetting":"DASSValue2","pyPurpose":"DASSName2","pyOwner":"DASS2Owner"}]}
