Modify system settings

You perform the system administration tasks through the System Administration tab on the Visual Modeler home page. This tab is accessible only to authorized personnel.

About this task

You can modify system configuration settings only if you have the appropriate access function. In the reference implementation provided with the Visual Modeler, only users with the Program Management function (defined in the Entitlements.xml configuration file as EnterpriseProgramManagement) may access the System Administration pages.

To modify system settings:

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Visual Modeler home page.

    See Access the Visual Modeler for information on how to access the Visual Modeler home page.

  2. Click the System Administration tab.
  3. Click the System Services tab.

    The System Properties page displays. The system configuration properties are organized into logically-related groups.

  4. Access each group by clicking the corresponding link on the System Properties page.

    Each link takes you to a new page that displays the current values for each property.

  5. Make the appropriate changes as necessary.

    See Locale settings and Define display names for a description of each set of properties.

  6. Click the Save button.
  7. By default, changes to the value of a system property take effect immediately, and are persisted to the file system. A server restart is not necessary, but if you do restart the server, the new value of the property remains in effect.
