Set Profile Values

Each profile option contains specific values that determine how it affects the application. You can add or modify the values for each profile option.

To configure profile values, use the Manage Administrator Profile Values task in the Setup and Maintenance work area and use the search criteria such as profile display name.

You can select or enter the value for one or more of the available levels (site, product, and user) so that each setting takes effect at the intended level.

Configure Application Logging

You can use the profile values for the enabled profile options to control error logging in the application. Here's the profile display name for application logging.

Profile Display Name	Description
Enable Change Debugging	Enables detailed error logging for changes to expedite debugging.

Set Profile Values for Change Orders

Here are the profile display names for change orders.

Profile Display Name	Description
Minimum Time Between Effective Dates of Change Orders for an Item	Enables you to define the minimum time gap in minutes between two parallel changes for an item. Before update 2OD, a fixed time gap of 30 minutes restricted parallel processes to prevent locks. Depending on the complexity of changes to implement and the overall performance of your application, you can set the appropriate value for the profile option. Additionally, the application considers only item changes for master organizations as a parallel process, not that of child organizations. In rare cases where the application still runs into a lock scenario, the change order isn't automatically demoted but remains in its current state, and you can try to promote it manually later.
Size of the publication payload file in megabytes	Enables you to define the maximum size of the Zip files that are generated when you download item attachments or change order attachments. If the exported data is larger than what can be contained in a single Zip file, the process creates multiple Zip files. The maximum limit is 500 MB. After downloading the set of Zip files, make sure that all the Zip files are extracted into the same root folder, and that the directory structure is created completely with all files available in their respective folders.
Wait Time for Enabling Workflow Termination	The Terminate Workflow button can be enabled when the change order is stuck on clicking Approve, or due to server issues. It's enabled after the number of minutes specified in profile value is lapsed. The minimum profile value is 30 minutes.
