App Variables

The App Variables node allows setting global settings for the RDM web application and repository:

Name Required Description

App Connection Name

Y

The name of the server resource where RDM is running. The URL from this connection is inherited by various RDM steps used in generated synchronization, batch load, and batch export plans.

See Adding the RDM Server Resource for instructions about how to configure a server connection for RDM.

Global Authentication Strategy

Y

Determines the default authentication strategy for load and synchronization plans:

  • Use App Connection Credentials (default) - The plans are preconfigured to use the username and password used in the RDM server connection.

  • Pass Credentials Manually - The plans are preconfigured to expect an external data resource (for example, a text file) containing the username and password.

You can override these settings in local table and synchronization configurations.

Database type

Y

The database type used for the RDM repository.

Maximum records per page

Y

Specifies the maximum number of records shown on one page in the RDM web application as a default setting for all users.

Application GUI language

Specifies the language for properties used in the RDM web application as a default setting for all users.

Available languages: English, Czech, Russian, and German.

Generated documentation language

Specifies the language for generated documentation.

Return email address

The email address displayed in the From line of received notification email messages.

Auditing

Specifies whether the RDM web application provides audit logs for defined operations. If set to true, the logging.xml file is created after generating the web application configuration.

This feature is not supported on WebSphere application servers and should be set to false.

Edit children recursively

N

If set to true, the Edit children recursively option is set to true by default in the webapp.

Show generated IDs

N

If set to true, columns with generated primary or group identifiers are displayed in tables by default (you can override this option in the web application).

Omit workflow

N

If set to true, no workflow is applied. After saving, a record is immediately moved to the Publish section.

Enable welcome screen

If set to true, a welcome screen with the entity list is shown on every login.

Enable inputs viewing mode

N

If set to true, you can see INPUTS perspective in the webapp to import and merge records from external databases to RDM.

Enable direct publish

If set to true, the Publish option is available in dialogs for creating and editing a record.

The Publish option is not shown for entities with custom workflows defined regardless of this parameter.

Default viewing mode

It defines the default data viewing mode used in the RDM Web App, that is, the default mode used when listing records from a table. Possible options are: EDIT (default), ALL_HISTORY, CONFIRMED, HISTORY.
