Configuration

Configuration covers the settings that apply to the installation as a whole, rather than to an individual scenario or task.

Dafne is configured at two levels:

• In the repository, through the Settings section of the Author module. These are stored in the database, can be changed at runtime by an administrator, and are versioned.
• In the application configuration files, read at start-up. These cover the database connection, authentication, logging and the timing of the executor's internal loops. Changing them requires a restart.

Knowing which level a given option lives at saves a good deal of searching — a value that is not in the Settings screen is almost certainly in the configuration files.

Pages

• System settings - the settings held in the repository and editable from the GUI
• Users and roles - accounts, roles, scenario delegation and login methods
• Environments - environment types, colour coding and switching between installations
• Application configuration - the file-based configuration of the web application and the executor
