How to read prconfig settings in v6/v7?
I can't find a ready API for this.
I found a reference to PREngineProvider.getExec().getSettings().getSetting(settingname) (see here ADP-Chaining: Invalid/ Bad configurations and assumptions )
Is there a an API visible to activity Java (PublicAPI / PegaAPI?)
Our interest is in reading node-specific settings.
For Dynamic system setting:
tools.getSystemSettings().getDynamic("RULE_SET","DYNAMIC_SYSTEM_SETTING");
tools.getSystemSettings(); should return everything, then you can ask the systemsettings object for whatever you need. Its available in the public API.

re: tools.getSystemSettings(); should return everything...
Well, it *should* in the normative sense. It should.
In actuality, it returns a PRSystemSettings object, which only provides access to Rule-Admin-System-Settings or Data-Admin-System-Settings, and not prconfig settings.
I'm looking at this for v6/v7.

That's an enormous hack. The JMX is returning XML... of all the settings. Overkill.
We're well victims of a decision that was made years ago. It's just so frustrating to just say, "we can use a prconfig setting, and read it", and then find that that API has long been gone.

Correction: it's a kludge, not a hack.
A filesystem-based config option is not visible to the application. The suggestion here is to use JMX to fetch the data which should be available in the first place.
Here's our use case: In our cloud infrastructure, we want to easily denote different profiles of nodes, so each profile could reference a particular list of rulesets.

I thought it would be easy. Maybe it was back in v5 that prconfig properties could be read.
