About Global Configuration Settings
Default settings are global or common settings that are configured at the environment level and can be shared between logical servers. Common default configuration settings include cache configurations, journal logging, and JNDI configuration.
When a configuration setting of this type is required by a logical server, a check box for default settings appears next to the subcomponent configuration in the logical server list. Check the Use Default check box to indicate that the logical server should use the common configuration settings for that subcomponent, or clear the Use Default check box to define a custom configuration.
When you configure the Default setting for logical servers in the following categories, they are used by default for all applicable logical servers in your environment.
