<settings> Element

The <settings> element is a required child element of the <defaultEntry> element and of the <entry> element.

The <settings> element behaves differently when used as a child of these elements:

• <defaultEntry> element – Specifies the setting values to be used as defaults for any file that is not associated with its own <entry> element

• <entry> element – Specifies the setting values to be used by the file associated with this <entry> element

  If any attributes are omitted, the corresponding attribute value in the <defaultEntry> element for this <entryList> is used. If no <defaultEntry> element is specified, the check-in time settings are used.

Attributes for the <settings> Element

The <settings> element has these optional attributes:

• group – An optional string that is the group of this entry. The group must be a group name, not a group ID.

• owner – An optional string that is the owner of this entry. The owner must be a user name, not a user ID.

• permissions – An optional string that is the permissions settings for a file or directory. The string is in the format of an octal triplet, as defined by the UNIX chmod command. See the chmod(1M) man page.

You can specify a value of :NONE: for any of these attributes. Use the :NONE: value to tell N1 SPS to use the default settings from the file system on which the component will be deployed.
