Hi there “Process Automation” fans,

This is the page where you find an overview of the settings you can do in different layers of the platform! The list will be extended with new settings during our “Process Automation” journey as a lot of these can be found in all the documentation.

Keep the page as a look-up to get more information. You can search for a specific setting in the top search to get more details and examples in usage (where applicable!)

We’ll start with the list of wcp.properties settings in platform folder $CORDYS_HOME/config:

Be aware that you can enable preview features (not visible in this list) in this file with a toggle like this feature.toggle.xxx. You see these mostly passing by during new releases.
