Anyone been confused by the new "configuration" handling in Gembuilder 7.2.2/7.3??

It seems that some config values come from
     GbsConfiguration current
and others from
     GBSM currentSession configuration

Any reason they don't all come from the session instance??

Our problem is that we were turning off  "forwarderDebuggin" which seems
to be taken from "GbsConfiguration current"

Yes, this is documented in appendix A of the GBS User's Guide.

Previously, none came from the session, all were global. This meant that
all sessions in one client VM had to share the same configuration. The
new scheme allows some parameters to be different between sessions.

It's possible that in the future we'll migrate some of the current
global parameters to become session-specific, but for some parameters
that is not possible. For instance clientMapCapacity cannot have
different values in different sessions because there is only one client
map which is shared by all sessions.

I did look in the release notes, and it does give a list of items that
come from the
session-config -- I guess then all the rest come from the global??  OK,
I can live!
