    The values for each setting based on their key_id are stored in portal_sys_setting_detail table's Value column. Boolean values such as display or not display settings are stored as 0 for false, 1 for true.
    Identify your record in pace_master.dbo.portal_sys_setting_detai where key_id = 49 and you can update the value back to 1. Now recycle all pace appserver instances and the Settings link will return.
