Thanks for the reply. Yes you are right. I discovered that the aggregate
descriptor had to override
the parameter name and then I needed to set it with:
ae.setConfigParameterValue( "Overridden_Name", "Overridden_Value"
);
and get it with:
ae.getConfigParameterValue( "Overridden_Name" )
instead of using the ConfigurationParameterSettings stuff. Then all the
primitive descriptors that
use that overridden name can see the change.

Re: setting aggregate parameters
I'd guess the aggregate descriptor needs to explicitly specify parameter
overrides for those delegate parameters to be controlled at the aggregate
level.
