Full SA Core configuration parameter listing

The SA Installer provides an Expert level interview which displays and allows modifications of all SA Core configuration parameters, some of which are not displayed during the Simple or Advanced interviews. Modifying these parameters requires extensive knowledge of SA Core capabilities and configuration and applying incorrect values will cause unexpected results.

The following table lists all SA Core configuration parameters as seen when you perform an installation using the Expert level interview.

For a detailed description of these parameters their values and ranges, see SA Core parameter reference.
