Update Settings

  • updated 2 yrs ago

Description

The update_settings part allows you to change a variety of installation settings as part of a local installation configuration approach where different installations require different system parameters. Examples of these settings include external database names and localization.

This is a specialized part with advanced use cases. Please contact your LogicNets representative to verify your use case and receive information on the specific keys to be read/written.

Use

You can use this part within a post-installation job logicnet to make changes to specific installations you manage locally in an on-premise environment. In using this part in modeled logic, your application administrators can alter the standard configurations settings of an installed application. In contrast to _session variables, these configuration options are located within the _settings scope, which means they are not generally accessible in business content runtime models.

This part should not be used in a LogicNets-hosted application or multi-tenant environment. To avoid problems, the use of this part is controlled with a special license.

Required Licenses

To see this part in the process node Miscellaneous menu, and to use this part in your modelled application, you must purchase the Elevated Privileges license. Without this license, the system skips any operation of this part during design, test, and runtime. Running the validation process on a project with this part included will also trigger an error message to the Designer user. 

To request this license in your build, please contact your LogicNets Representative.
