disconnect timeout nn
where nn is the maximum number of seconds the client and the server will wait for communication to resume in case there is an interruption. After this time has passed without any sign of reconnection, the communication is finally broken by either one of the peers.
nn = numeric entry from 0 to 32765. The default value of zero indicates that the disconnection occurs immediately.
| Operating System | Default Value |
|---|---|
| Windows | 0 |
| Linux | 0 |
transaction retries n
n specifies the number of attempts to be made at retrying an implicit transaction that has failed because of deadlock. A setting of -1 causes the transaction to be retried until deadlock does not occur. This option applies only when the application has SET AUTORETRY set ON.
-1 to 1000
| Windows | 10 |
| UNIX | 10 |
activity timeout nn
where nn is the maximum number of minutes a session can be left connected without any activity being performed. After this time is reached, the connection is severed.
The main goal of this option is to close unattended sessions after a certain amount of time.
nn = numeric entry from 0 to 1000000, where 0 means infinity. The default value is always 0.
file statistics yes | no
Specifies if statistics concerning the number of logical and physical input/output operations are to be recorded. The statistics are written to a text file called zimstats in the user’s work path.
This option provides information about the file usage in the current Zim session whereas Zim Explore provides the same information for all files of all users handled by Zim Server.
| Windows | no |
| UNIX | no |
directories nnwhere nn is the number of Zim directories that can be accessed at any one time.
nn = numeric entry 3 to 200
| Windows | 10 |
| UNIX | 10 |
work path pathwhere path is the disk directory path to the temporary work files for a session. The work path is valid for all users accessing the database and is formed by adding the work path with the user number that is entering the database at that time. For example:
work path /usr/users
Users will get work paths like:
/usr/users/00001 /usr/users/00002
The default work path is the database itself.
Any directory path.
runtime buffers nn
where nn is the number of in-memory data buffers used when writing or reading compiled programs to or from the disk. Each buffer holds 1 KB. Increasing the number of buffers improves system performance, but increases the amount of internal memory needed. Specify any whole number within the permitted range, provided that the computer has enough memory.
The general effect of this option is that, when running compiled applications, the bigger this value, more compiled programs can stay in memory at the same time thus increasing performance of the application.
nn = numeric entry 100 to 10000
| Windows | 100 |
| UNIX | 100 |
parameter size nn
where nn specifies the maximum size of any single IN-type parameter or local variable used in an application program’s procedures.
IN parameters and local variables are stored internally as VARCHAR variables with a maximum size of nn. If the size of any IN parameters or local variables is larger than the default value of nn, increase nn. Conversely, if all parameters are significantly smaller than the default size, reduce nn to save memory.
nn = numeric entry 0 to 32000
| Windows | 256 |
| UNIX | 256 |
user name directory yes/no
It specifies that the working directory for the user starting a Zim session must be named after the user number or the user name.
For example, with :
user name directory yes
work path /usr/users
Users will get work paths like:
/usr/users/Chris
/usr/users/Deborah
instead of
/usr/users/00001
/usr/users/00002
The default setting is no.
Notice that the user names must be known by Zim in the Users entity set.
backscreen prompt yes | no
Specifies whether the ZXClient prompt will be available when upon its start-up, that is, the user will not be able to interact with the prompt. The end result is that the user must follow the instructions provided by the Zim application.
yes indicates prompt is available whereas no indicates the prompt will not be available for the user. The default value is always yes.
