Platform folder settings

The registry settings in the Platform folder are a select list of individual settings.

Enable custom REST service
Use the Enable Custom REST Service setting to extend the REST services with custom services that are not included in the existing API services.
Set the sign of an integer returned by dates function
If Enable date subtraction fix PH51026 is set to true, when a user uses the dates function [$OPSS-ISS:Due Date$] - [$TODAY$], it returns a positive integer if the due date is a future date. If Enable date subtraction fix PH51026 is set to false, the dates function returns a negative integer.
Set the date format for parsing strings
When a calculation or workflow parses a date value from a string, it interprets the date in one of two ways. If the string begins with 4 digits, the string is parsed using the ISO 8601 standard format YYYY-MM-DD. If the string begins with 2 digits, the string is parsed using the format specified by the registry setting Platform > Calculation > Default date parse format.
Set the default pageSize for API queries
Use the Default PageSize setting to control the default pageSize for queries through the API (REST API and Java API). The Default PageSize is used only when running a query that does not specify a pageSize.
Set localization options
You can configure settings in the Globalization folder to audit translation label changes and set a default language for IBM OpenPages.
Enable and configure rate limiting
Rate limiting is a technique that is used to control the number of requests a user can make to a system over a specified period of time. Rate limiting makes it harder for malicious actors to overburden the system and cause attacks like Denial of Service (DoS). Excess requests are rejected early in the process to ensure that your system has enough resources to be able to process accepted requests.
Enable or disable filtering on fields with FLS rules
You can enable or disable filtering on fields that have field level security (FLS) rules.
Configure primary associations
When a child object has multiple parent objects, the Association Heuristic setting controls how the system reassigns a new primary parent after the child object has been created.
Configure the host setting
If you have older JSP reports and want to send email notifications to users from these older JSP-based reports or the Notification Manager utility, configure the host setting.
Configure the Cognos URL settings
The URLs for IBM® Cognos® Analytics are stored in settings. Update these settings when the IBM Cognos Analytics host or port numbers change.
Cross-context sharing
You can use the Cross context sharing setting to affect whether any non-primary links to objects outside the context (scope) of a copy operation are included or ignored during a copy operation.
Platform Reporting Framework folder settings
The settings in the Platform > Reporting Framework V6 folder apply to the reporting framework, which is used with IBM Cognos Analytics.
Reporting Schema folder settings
The Platform > Reporting Schema folder settings represent a selected list of individual settings.
Security settings
The Platform > Security folder contains settings to configure security.
