A Note on Scope

The description for each configuration variable lists the scopes in which they are valid (for example, "Valid in all scopes" or "System scope only").

Note: Configuration variables are never valid in cookie scope.

For more information, see "Understanding Scope" in Chapter 8 of the User's Guide.

For those variables that belong to all or a variety of scopes, adding scope specifications has the following effects:

• scope=METHOD sets the configuration variable value for the current method within a Tango class file.
• scope=INSTANCE sets the configuration variable value for the current instance of a Tango class file.
• scope=LOCAL sets the configuration variable value for the current application file.
• scope=USER sets the configuration variable value to be used with the current user.
• scope=APPLICATION sets the configuration variable value to be used in the current Tango application.
• scope=DOMAIN sets the configuration variable value to be used in the current Tango domain.

For more information on setting configuration variables, see Chapter 24 of the User's Guide.

• scope=SYSTEM sets the configuration variable value to be used in Tango Server. An administrative password is required to set or change the value of a system configuration variable.
