MAINTENANCE / SYSTEM PARAMETER
This help file covers the following topics: | |
|
An administrator (with proper authority) can create a new NRT Default parameter. This parameter is written to the SQL Server database and is inherited by all properties and machines which share this database.
There is a hierarchy within BackOffice.
This hierarchy might best be displayed as
a triangle,
with "NRT Defaults" at the top, "Properties" next, and then Machine Groups and "Machines" at the bottom.
A property inherits the "NRT Defaults", unless it overrides a param value with a property parameter.
A machine group inherits the "Property" parameters, unless it overrides a param value with a machine group parameter.
A machine inherits the "machine group" parameters, unless it overrides a param value with a machine parameter.

An administrator, with proper authority, can add a new parameter using BackOffice. This new parameter will be added to the NRT default parameters. This parameter will be inherited by all properties which utilize the same SQL Server database. This new parameter cannot be deleted from within BackOffice.
