Configuration variables set options controlling the operation of Tango Server. This chapter describes the configuration variables and also lists their default values and the scopes in which they are valid.
Configuration variables with scope other than system can be set just like any other variable: use the <@ASSIGN> meta tag with the SCOPE attribute set in HTML or in the Assign action when building an application file. For details on variable assignment, see "Working With Variables" in Chapter 8 of the User's Guide.
To change system configuration variables, you must first set configPasswd with scope=USER to match the system configuration variable configPasswd, or you can use the config.taf application file to set system configuration variables more easily. For more information, see Chapter 24 of the User's Guide, or the Application Server Getting Started Guide.
Tango Server switches (for example, fileReadSwitch, javaSwitch) are special configuration variables that enable or disable certain Tango features. For additional documentation on Tango Server switches, see "Feature Switches" in Chapter 24 of the User's Guide, or the Application Server Getting Started Guide.
Configuration variables are saved in the configuration file (t4server.ini on Windows and UNIX, and Tango 2000 Server Preferences under Macintosh). For more details about this file, see Chapter 24 of the User's Guide, or the Application Server Getting Started Guide.
