The default values file defines property values that will
be available to users when they connect to the system for the first
time.
When a user connects to a system for the first time, Rational® Developer for System z® determines whether
a default values file exists on the system. If so, the default values
are stored in the workspace so that whenever users create a new property
group for that system, the defaults from the default values file are
used. For properties that do not have default values in the default
values file, the default Rational Developer
for System z property values
are used. If the default values file on the system is updated after
the default values are transferred to the workspace, users are prompted
to replace the defaults in the workspace with the ones from the system.
The default values file is defaultvalues.xml and
contains the following tags. It must be must be encoded in UTF-8.
See the related topics for the default values schema.
