Application server configurations can now be made by Administrators and advanced IT persona. Common requests that resulted in support calls can now be addressed internally by advanced OneStream users with the proper access. This process also eliminates the need for an IIS restart for the changes to take place. Understand that as settings changed and saved, they are automatically applied every two minutes.
There are two system roles that manage six categories of configurations. The application maintains an audit trail so changes to the configurations are accessible. Upon install, the application server configurations are enabled by default. To mitigate misuse of configurations settings, Customer Support can disable full features, sections, and property changes via XML/App config.
System Roles
Two roles exist to grant Administrators and advanced IT users the ability to change server configurations:
System Security Role: ManageSystemConfiguration
-
Default to Nobody
-
Not automatically granted to Administrator
System User Interface Role: SystemConfigurationPage
-
Default to Administrator Group - Administrators will have read-only rights
-
System User Interface Role should be “view only” to all users assigned
System Configurations
There are six categories of system configurations:
-
General
-
Environment
-
Memory
-
Multithreading
-
Recycling
-
Database Server Connections
NOTE: Memory and Multithreading system configurations must be enabled. Customers should contact support to have this configuration change made for them.
An IIS restart is not required to capture changes as they are automatically applied every two minutes. Saved changes are tracked via the Audit tab, which is available for each server configuration.
When enabled, permitted users can adjust system configurations in app by navigating to System>Administration>System Configuration.
