Database settings
Database settings
The Database settings show values that are established during installation or configured immediately after installation. These values are not likely to change unless you switch databases or upgrade your system.
Various Enterprise eTIME instances can access different databases for different purposes. For example, one instance can connect to a test database, while other instances can connect to a production database. This tab only reflects the database to which this instance is connected.
An instance can only be connected to one database at a time. However, multiple instances can be connected to the same database. Unless you switch databases, you are not likely to modify any of the database properties in this tab. If you do need to modify a value, you can do so while the database is running. However, your modification does not take effect until the instance is shut down and restarted.
If you modify a database property for one instance, be sure to make the same modifications to all instances that connect to the same database.
Key and value details
site.database.all.loginTimeout — The number of seconds before the connection process will abort when the instance connects to the database.
When you are restarting the instance and the database is extremely busy, set this key to a higher number to give the system extra time to make the connection.
Value: required; minimum=1; maximum=30; installed default=5
site.database.all.dbreport.RepTimeToLive — Defines the amount of time (in hours) that database report files stay in the Enterprise eTIME system before being automatically deleted. The Database Report Status workspace lists the available database reports.
Value: required; minimum=0; installed default=72
