Advanced workspace overrides

For self-hosted instances, Structural provides environment settings to configure features that include:

• Consistency across runs and databases

• Data generation performance

The Advanced Workspace Overrides section of the workspace details view allows you to override those environment settings for an individual workspace.

For example, the environment setting TONIC_TABLE_PARALLELISM determines the number of tables that Structural processes simultaneously. You can then override that value within individual workspaces.

The workspace overrides are available on both self-hosted instances and on Structural Cloud.

Configuring the overrides

To display the available override settings, expand Advanced Workspace Overrides.

Available overrides

Workspace statistics seed for cross-run consistency

For generators where consistency is enabled, a statistics seed enables consistency across data generation runs. The Structural-wide statistics seed value ensures consistency across both data generation runs and workspaces.

You use the Override Statistics Seed setting to override the Structural-wide statistics seed value.

You can either disable consistency across data generations, or provide a seed value for the workspace. The workspace seed value ensures consistency across data generation runs for that workspace, and across other workspaces that have the same seed value.

For details about using seed values to ensure consistency across data generation runs and databases, go to Enabling consistency across runs or multiple databases.

Data generation performance settings

Structural provides environment settings to manage data generation performance. For example, these settings include configuration for parallel processing.

From the Advanced Workspace Overrides section, you can override some of these data generation performance settings for an individual workspace.
