The Site server

The Data Management Site Server is designed for centralized management of Data Management-based processing. It hosts the repository and supports user/group object security, version control, scheduling and unattended operation, scalability, reporting, and logging. The Site Server monitors the Execution Server on each computer within the site or cluster, querying it for load, and choosing appropriate computers on which to spawn project servers. The Server's object-sharing capabilities support reuse of projects and formulas among a group of Data Management users.

The Settings folder  in the repository contains a cascading settings hierarchy controlling resources used by servers and projects. Any user with the appropriate privileges can set up system defaults, machine overrides, and user overrides for each setting. In addition, projects can be configured to override settings on a per-project basis.

Changes to Settings do not affect an open project until the project is closed and re-opened.
