Default settings - Application priorities

#InterSystems IRIS

Hello everyone.

I have a question regarding the priority when applying a default configuration.

I have several Business Services that use the same class, so I want them all to have a common "Schedule" configuration.

However, there's one that I don't want this default configuration applied to, so I've tried setting the Schedule value to empty for that element based on its name:

In this case, the elements that use the class Kurro.BS.SFTP.Marca have the default value "CargaFicheros".

However, one of the elements (Kurro.BS.SFTP.Special) should not have this configuration, so I have created an entry for this element.

The problem is that in production, the Kurro.BS.SFTP.Especial element appears with the host class's default configuration, instead of the one I specified for the element.

I also can't remove it directly from production because it tells me it's a Core setting and I can't modify it because it has a Default Setting property.

How can I set a specific configuration for an element that doesn't use the host class configuration?

Thank you so much

Check out %GetSetting implementation in Ens.Config.DefaultSettings:

// Look in table starting with most specific match
If $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD(pProductionName,pItemName,pHostClassName,pSettingName),data)
|| $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD("*",            pItemName,pHostClassName,pSettingName),data)
|| $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD(pProductionName,"*",      pHostClassName,pSettingName),data)
|| $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD("*",            "*",      pHostClassName,pSettingName),data)
|| $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD(pProductionName,pItemName,"*",           pSettingName),data)
|| $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD("*",            pItemName,"*",           pSettingName),data)
|| $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD(pProductionName,"*",      "*",           pSettingName),data)
|| $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD("*",            "*",      "*",           pSettingName),data)

In your case your first setting would be resolved on line three:

$D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD(pProductionName,"*",      pHostClassName,pSettingName),data)

And your second setting would be resolved on line five:

|| $D(^Ens.Config.DefaultSettingsD(pProductionName,pItemName,"*",           pSettingName),data)

But since line three resolves to a valid setting, line five would never be hit.

To work around that provide both item name and class name explicitly - it would be resolved on the first line for your outlier (since both item and class match) and the rest of the items would get their setting resolved on line three.
