Modifying Service, Manager, or Application Properties 

Use

This procedure enables you to change the properties of a particular service, manager, or application. You can perform these actions in the Config Tool.

When you select a service, manager or an application, its relevant property keys and values are displayed on the right in a table.

The properties in the template configuration are divided into two sections:

●      Default property data

Displays default template configuration settings for a manager or service. These settings cannot be changed.

●      Custom property data

When you want to add custom values to the default vales of the properties, they are displayed in the Custom property data. These settings are valid for all instances. But if you set a property value in the template configuration, and then set another value for the same property in the same manager or service, in a particular instance, then this value is valid.

The instance configuration has priority over the template configuration.

The properties in an instance configuration are divided into two sections:

●      Template property data

Displays the template value of a specific property. If there is a template custom value, then it is displayed. Otherwise, the template default value is displayed.

●      Custom property data

All custom settings for a specific instance are displayed in this area.

The properties can be defined with additional parameters, such as type, range, computed, parameterized, and link.
