Manage configurables

The Configurables tab allows you to view and set the value of configurables and environment variables by double-clicking that row.

The Set column displays:

• Circle with a diagonal line to indicate the value is set before Helix Core Server started, and the value cannot be changed.

• Check mark to indicate a value has been set.

• No symbol to indicate the value can be changed. If you change the value, the check mark appears.

Double-click any row to:

• Read that configurable's description.

• See whether it affects the server, client, proxy, or a combination of those.

• Link to technical documentation about that configurable from the Configurables in the Helix Core Command-Line (P4) Reference.

• See the recent history of that configurable's setting.

• Set the value, if it is not prohibited with the symbol.

When you can set the value, you can also provide a comment:

For some configurables, the New value field allows you to choose from the set of valid values:

To unset the configurable, make the New value field be empty.

The P4Admin Configurables tab filters configurables by any string you type in the Search configurable name and description field.

You can also Filter by category whether or not you also use a search string.
