Is it possible to change the display name of a custom production setting?
Hi,
I created a property in a Business Process class and added that property to the "settings" parameter to display it as a field in production settings.
Property ServerName As %String(MAXLEN = "");
Parameter SETTINGS = "ServerName:Server Config";
Property names cannot contain characters such as underscore or whitespace. Is there any way to change the display name in production so that I can show this setting as "Server Name" and not "ServerName"?
Thank you in advance.
Product version: IRIS 2022.2
I don't think there is an official support way to achieve that.
However, if you temporary change ENSLIB database and remove read-only flag and then:
Set ^IRIS.Msg("EnsColumns","en","ServerName")="Server Name"
or maybe better:
s ^IRIS.Msg("EnsColumnsNAMESPACENAME,"en","ServerName")="Server Name"
where NAMESPACENAME is the name of your production.
And then you put back the read-only flag in ENSLIB database......you will find a surprise 😉
Note that this is a kind of a hack, you lose the "surprise" when you upgrade and may not work in future versions.
Edit: see @Eduard Lebedyuk advise below for a much better way to do it using global mapping instead of changing ENSLIB
^IRIS.Msg("EnsColumnsNAMESPACENAME,"en"Can be mapped to your DB, so you won't lose the changes on update (and also you won't need to make ENSLIB RW).
EXCELLENT advise/suggestion! I fully agree that using global mapping is MUCH better. 👏
