Administration - Parameter Management

The Parameter Management panel replaces the parameters found within the JavaBE.ini file in previous releases of the application. Parameters control the application runtime behavior of the Java back end component. Parameter management works in conjunction with back end support and provides remote diagnostic capabilities and configuration of the application at a user level.

Use the Parameter Management panel to override parameter settings in a production environment for a specific user or for the whole application, depending on the selection you make for the Parameter Scope. This will not change application settings, but rather user settings for the selected parameter and the selected user. In this way, you can diagnose issues and troubleshoot without the need for users to reset their Client when problems occur.
