Although the registry is directly accessible, accessing the registry through the metabase is the preferred method for updating settings. This is accomplished by using the Configuration Service Provider specific to the settings that require an update.
Querying the registry at the top level is not allowed. All parms must be queried individually. The underlying data store of the Registry is typed. Be sure to use the datatype attribute of the <parm> tag.
This documentation describes the default characteristics. Additional characteristics may be added.
