Parameters

The parameter element of the entry services profile is used to override the defaults of a specific entry allocation process. All Transaction Server entry allocation processes come with a set of default values to use when performing entry allocation. Refer to Table 1 for a list of entry allocation defaults. A parameterSet element with the parameters element is used to override the default value for a particular entry allocation process. A parameterSet element can hold one or more parameter elements for overriding a default value and must be given a unique name.

One or more parameterSet elements can be configured within the parameters element for use with different entry allocation processes.

All parameter elements require a name attribute for identifying the parameter to override.
