Table 14-1 System Preferences

System Preference	Type	Description
AllowAsOf	Boolean	True forces capture of core actions and creates a baseline version to allow the creation of As-Of versions. If this preference is set to False, As-Of versions cannot be created. Default value is True. Note: A change to this preference requires a restart of the Data Relationship Management application.
AllowNextIDGeneration	Boolean	True enables automatic Next ID generation. Default value is False.
AllowNextIDKeyCreation	Role	List of roles allowed to create a new key in NextID feature. Default values are Interactive User, Data Creator, Data Manager.
AllowPru	Boolean	True enables the pruning option which allows a non-admin user to remove a node that has children. If False, a non-admin user cannot remove a node that has children. Default value is True.
AllowRelaxedMove	Boolean	When a node is moved, True allows the new parent to take precedence over any conflicting parental relationships for the node in other hierarchies. Default value is False.
AllwSpac	Boolean	True allows spaces in node names. Default is True.
AnalyticsNodeCountUpdateTime	String	Specifies a time of day, in local time using 24-hour format, when the node counts for versions and hierarchies for all loaded, normal versions are to be updated. For example, 2:15 PM would be entered as "1415". The default time is 3:00 AM.
ApprovalGroups	String	Comma-delimited list of approval groups.
ApprovalGroupTrackProperties	String	Delimited list of approval properties tracked by groups.

Requires access to Shared Services. Mixed––Users are authenticated internally or externally based on a setting for each individual user. Default value is Internal. Note: A change to this preference requires a restart of the Data Relationship Management application.
CopyLcl	Boolean	True copies local values when a node is copied. Default value is True.
DefaultCurrentVersion	Version	Default current version. This preference can be set using the Make Default option for versions.

FindByProperties	Property	List of properties available to search with when browsing a hierarchy. The properties displayed are those to which a user has access. Also, the properties displayed may not be applicable to all hierarchies. Note: The ADMIN user cannot be added to custom Property Categories in Data Relationship Management. As a consequence, if a property listed in the FindByProperties system preference is not added to a Property Category that ADMIN is already a member of, then ADMIN will not be able to perform a Find with that property in the Hierarchy Browse window.
FindWildCardAppend	Boolean	True appends an asterisk (*) to the Find criteria when Exact Match is not selected. Default value is False.
FindWildCardPrepend	Boolean	True prepends an asterisk (*) to the Find criteria when Exact Match is not selected. Default value is False.

GlobalPropLocalSecurity	Boolean	True enforces local security on global properties. Changes to global properties are checked against local security (node access levels) for the user for all hierarchies where the node exists. Default value is False. Note: A change to this preference requires a restart of the Data Relationship Management application.
HierSep	String	Hierarchy and node separator character. Default value is tilde ( ~ ).

Caution: Disabling JobResultsMaxSize by setting to a negative value is strongly discouraged because this can significantly impact performance for large jobs. Note: JobResultsMaxSize does not apply to Exports run using the Server File or Database Table options.
JobResultsRetentionAge	Integer	Number of days to retain archived job result detail in history. A value of zero indicates that job results are never purged from history. Note: Job results are purged to manage database size. Disabling the purge may result in significant database growth over time.

For example, if the SharedNodeDelimiter is a colon, the SharedNodeSequenceSeparator character cannot be a colon. Note: A change to this preference requires a restart of the Data Relationship Management application.
SharedNodeIdentifier	String	Specifies the identifier to be used after the shared node delimiter. Default value is Shared. Note: A change to this preference requires a restart of the Data Relationship Management application.

UseMerge	Boolean	True enables use of Merge methodology for inactivated and deleted nodes. Note: If ReqMerge is True, then the system requires a merge node to be specified. If ReqMerge is False, then a merge node is optional unless the node approved property is True. The node approved property is set to True when a version is finalized or when it is specifically set to True by a user with appropriate access. Default value is False.
ValSec	Boolean	True checks node access group security to determine whether a user can run batch validations for a node. Default value is False.
