System-wide values and system constants can be edited in this area.

System-wide values are system-wide number ranges and system-wide permanent values.

The constants discussed here are so-called system constants, i.e. they are valid system-wide, i.e. in every profile. Profile constants can be created directly in the profile and are only valid in this profile. See section Types of Constants.

System-wide values

(1) Name: The name of the system-wide value. System-wide values are system-wide number ranges and system-wide permanent values.

(2) Value: The actual value of the system-wide value.

(3) Using the context menu, you can delete the selected entry. The value can be changed with a double click.

System constants

(4) Name: The name of the system constant.

(5) Value: The value of the system constant. Note: See also function " change constant value()" .

(6) Description: An optional description of the system constant.

(7) Group: You can assign system constants to groups. In places in the GUI with selection menus for system constants, these are then displayed in groups.

(8) Using the context menu, you can edit or delete the selected entry or create a new entry. You can also export and import selected system constants as properties file.

(8.1) Export, Import: Here you can export and import constants. Note: You can also use the Transport Manager .

Configuration files

Alternatively, system constants can also be created/maintained in the configuration file ./etc/admin/datawizard/constants.properties. Example:

mysystemconstant=myvalue

You can find groups for system constant in configuration file ./etc/admin/datawizard/constants_desc.properties. Example:

mysystemconstant.KEY_GROUP=mygroup

So <Name of system constant>.KEY_GROUP=<Name of group>.

Note: See also section Structure of property files.
