Administrator's Guide to Ring Parameters

Several levels of configuration settings are merged and applied when a page is published. Settings are specified at the site, ring or page level. A global default settings level is defined in the program code.

The site settings apply to the entire site. Ring settings apply to an entire "ring". Page settings apply to an individual page or portion of a page.

If an override is not specified, the setting from the global default level will apply. The site defaults, found in sysparms.txt, override the global defaults.

Any ring settings found in configrN.txt override the site settings. (N is the ring number.) Any page settings found at the top of an individual page override the ring settings.

Ring Parms

In general, parms are only used in one context. But, many of the page parms can be used effectively in the ring configuration specification. When used in the ring config file the parms affect all the pages in the ring.
Parameter Name Default / Reset Specification Override Specification
The ring parameter indicates if the set of parameters apply to a ring.
ring #ring:no #ring:yes

If not specified, the default value will apply.
