Settings

Introduction

With settings you can alter the behavior of Manatee to fit the preferences of your organization or person.

This document goes through all the settings and explains the different sources of settings.

Source of settings

Settings can be stored and altered in different locations. This give a big freedom to descide a value of a setting centrally, as part of the installation, locally or in a flow.
Please note:
While many ways and places to change a setting is a powerful tool, it also is a common source of mistakes.Changing a setting may give the result you want in one environment but not in the next.
It is therefor import The order of precedence (where the first in the list precedes the second and so on) is:

1) Local ini file

The second place Manatee will look fopr a setting is the local ini file. The file is called manatee.ini and is stored in the user application data directory (%appdata%) Changes to settings through Manatee setting dialogue, as well as in flows are saved in this ini file.

See modules/settings for information about how to update settings from flows.

2) Unencrypted site settings

The next place Manatee will look for a setting is the installed ini file. This is also called manatee.ini and can be found in the same directory as Manatee is started from. Settings can be added to this file as part of the installation or upgrade. The settings in this file will override default settings but can be overrided by local settings.

3) Secure site settings

The next place Manatee will look for a setting is in the secure site settings. This is the settings passed to the msi at install time. They are put in a a manatee-encrypted json file, which gets machine encrypted during install and written to manatee.sccfg in the installation directory (next to Manatee.exe). The manatee-encryption protects the data while the admin handles it during Manatee installation/upgrade, while the added machine-encryption ensures that only authenticated users of the machine can read the file contents (eg in case of data theft).

4) Central settings on primary group and version basis

If the setting is not found in the previous steps Manatee will look for the setting In Cuesta you can override the default settings. These settings are stored centrally in Kwanza. See the Cuesta documentation for more information.

5) Manatee’s own default value

If the setting isn’t changed in any of the above instances the setting will default to the default value of the setting.

Reading and writing settings from flows

You can also read, write and reset settings from flows.
See modules/settings

Different attributes of settings

Each setting have, or can have a number of attributes, explained here:

• Group: Group is used to logically group setting into different areas they are related to.
• Name: Name is used to identify the setting. For instance when accessing a setting in a flow
• Type: The type of the setting. Normally int or string. Some settings are read only, they will be marked with for instance Readonly - int
• Default: The default value of the setting
• Requires restart: Changing a setting that require restart will have no effect until Manatee is restarted
• Values allowed (Validation): When changing a setting from the Manatee setting dialogue, the new value will be validated with this condition.
• Validation message: A messaqe that is shown iof the input is not valid, can be used as a hint of what values are valid.
