When I look at an ACF2 rule in England, it shows the key with a pound sign. When I look at the rule in USA it show the key with a dollar sign ($) how is this stored in the ACF2 database?

Issue/Introduction

How is the "$key" of the rule stored in the ACF2 database?
is it different dependent on the country you are in?

Environment

Release: ACF2..001AO-16-ACF2
Component:

Resolution

The $KEY string is NOT stored in the ACF2 database.
it is only the value of the $KEY that is stored.

 

$KEY(SYS1) is not stored in the database with the "$KEY" only the SYS1 is stored.

The same is true for resource rules

$KEY(ABC)
$TYPE(SAF)

Will not have $KEY or $TYPE stored in the database - just the values e.g. ABC or SAF etc.
