# SDC-Parameter Override Parameters

You can use the parameters in this section to override SDC parameters on the client side.

Consider the following example:

If you want a specific page, `/xyz.html`, logged to the `cs-uri-stem` field, you can assign the page name to the `dcsuri` parameter in the JavaScript tag as shown in the Modified Tag.

**Default JavaScript Tag:** `DCS.dcsuri="window.location.pathname;`

**Modified JavaScript Tag:** `DCS.dcsuri="/xyz.html";`

However, because modifying JavaScript is error-prone, you could instead use the `DCS.dcsuri` parameter in a META tag to override the `dcsuri` assignment in the JavaScript tag. Your META tag would look like this: `<META NAME="DCS.dcsuri" CONTENT="/xyz.html">`

Keep in mind that because these parameters simply override assignments in the JavaScript tag, the parameters themselves are not actually sent to SDC. The JavaScript tag contains a custom object named `DCS`. This object contains property name/value pairs that are used to form query parameters sent to SDC. To continue our example, the JavaScript tag first extracts the META tag information and performs the following assignment: `DCS.dcsuri=/xyz.html`

Next, the JavaScript tag iterates through all name/value pairs in the DCS object and forms query parameters.

In our example, the following query parameter is formed: `&dcsuri=/xyz.html`

          Note

          

The custom object name itself (DCS) is not sent to SDC.

#### DCS.dcsref

`DCS.dcsref=Referrer` This parameter is assigned to the `dcsref` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. The value is included in the `cs(Referer)` field of the log file.

#### DCS.dcssip

`DCS.dcssip=Domain` This parameter is assigned to the `dcssip` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. The value is included in the `cs-host` field of the log file.

#### DCS.dcsua

`DCS.dcsua=user agent` This parameter is assigned to the `dcsua` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. Value is included in the `cs(user agent)` field. Use a plus sign to encode spaces rather than %20.

#### DCS.dcsuri

`DCS.dcsuri=uri-stem` This parameter is assigned to the `dcsuri` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. The value is included in the `cs-uri-stem` field of the log file.

#### DCS.dcspro

`DCS.dcspro=Protocol` This parameter is assigned to the `dcspro` parameter before the hit is sent. The value is included in the `cs(Version)` field of the log file.

#### DCS.dcsqry

`DCS.dcsqry=uri-query` This parameter is assigned to the `dcsqry` parameter before the hit is sent. The value is included in the `cs-uri-query` field of the log file.

#### DCS.dcsaut

`DCS.dcsaut=authenticated username` This parameter is assigned to the `dcsaut` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. The value is included in the `cs-username` field.

#### DCS.dcsmet

`DCS.dcsmet=method` This parameter is assigned to the `dcsmet` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. The value is included in the `cs-method` field.

#### DCS.dcssta

`DCS.dcssta=status` This parameter is assigned to the `dcssta` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. The value is included in the `sc-status` field.

#### DCS.dcsbyt

`DCS.dcsbyt=bytes` This parameter is assigned to the `dcsqry` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. The value finally is included in the `sc-bytes` field.

#### DCS.dcscip

`DCS.dcscip=ip address` This parameter is assigned to the `dcscip` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. Value is included in the `c-ip` field.

#### DCS.dcsua

`DCS.dcsua=user agent` This parameter is assigned to the `dcsua` parameter before the hit is sent to SDC. Value is included in the `cs(user agent)` field. Use a plus sign to encode spaces rather than %20.
