Property Characteristic	Description
Instance Only	Specifies whether this property must be defined at the instance level.
	If so, you provide an instance-specific value and the property is not
	a global value.
Online Changes Allowed	Specifies whether the System Properties application is used to
	change the property's value. For example, the global property
	mxe.db.driver does not allow online changes
Live Refresh	Specifies whether the property value can take effect immediately
	after saving the value.
Encrypted	Specifies whether the property is stored in an encrypted manner in
	the underlying product database. The value is encrypted using the
	product's standard encryption functionality. For example, the global
	property mxe.int.uddipassword is encrypted.
Security Level	Specifies the level of access to this property by various product
	components. Access level may be PUBLIC, SECURE or PRIVATE.
User Defined	Specifies whether the property is created by a user or is provided
	with the product.
Nulls Allowed	Specifies whether the property can have null values. You can change
	this characteristic only for user-defined properties.
Data Type	Specifies the type of value that can be provided for the property. The
	value could be an integer, alphanumeric, or a Yes or No value
	(YORN). For example, the global property mxe.allowLocalObjects is
	associated with a data type of YORN; by entering a value other than
	1 or 0 you will see an error message indicating invalid value.
Domain	Specifies a domain that provides a list of values that the property can
	be set to. For example, the global property
	mxe.db.transaction_isolation is associated with the 'TRANSISO'
	domain. Thus the property's values must match to a corresponding
	domain value
