Configuration settings for Promote Project

When a user activates a project that uses sample management from one server to another, the dialog displays a Participants frame in which the user can specify the name of the database server, the sample database, and the sample table, and choose whether and from which queues to copy sample records.

To control access to these facilities, set the activity's application settings in DPM, for example to allow users to create new sample databases or to prevent them copying records from queues other than the FRESH queue.

The application settings are defined in DPM in Servers > ServerName > Applications > websitetositeactivate > ApplicationSettings

For information about adding properties using DPM Explorer, see Adding and removing items.

The default values shown are the default settings for the properties as they are installed in DPM. They are also the defaults that are used if the properties are not present in DPM.
