Resolution of Variable Names

General variable definitions, such as those in the Tiered Electronic Distribution policy, provide default variable values for Subscribers where they have none defined. And, variables set in a Subscriber will override default variable values, such as those that were set in the Tiered Electronic Distribution policy.

However, for Server Software Packages, variable names are resolved differently:

  1. Is the variable defined in the Server Software Package component? If so, use that value.

    IMPORTANT:  A variable defined in a software package will override any value defined in the Subscriber.

  2. Is the variable one of the predefined variables? If so, use that value.
  3. Is the variable a Java environment variable? If so, use that value.
