Update from engineering:

"Assume you have m Global Variables (GV), and n environments in which some of the GVs have different values. The options are
• maintain n Cluster Deployment Descriptors (CDDs)
• maintain n*m GVs + 1 CDD

The CDD was introduced to prevent TRA bloat.

CDDs are supposed to be fully configured for all engines. At deploy time you can simply specify the ProcessUnit (PU) you are deploying.

If you need to make late changes you should do so in Studio and you should keep all CDDs the same.
