RepositoryConfiguration Object

The RepositoryConfiguration object contains settings that control the behavior of the Waveset Repository. Each XML attribute of the top-level <RepositoryConfiguration> element configures some aspect of overall Repository behavior.

For example, the following line specifies that repository locks expire in five minutes by default.

<RepositoryConfiguration ... lockTimeoutMillis=’300000’ ... >

Do not modify any RepositoryConfiguration setting unless you understand its effects.

The RepositoryConfiguration object also contains some settings that are specific to User objects. For example, the TypeDataStore element for User objects specifies the inline attributes for User objects.

Inline attributes are single-valued attributes that the Repository stores directly in the main object table for each type, in this case, in columns attr1 through attr5 of the USEROBJ table. Most attribute values are stored in the USERATTR table (which requires a separate join for each attribute). Inlining an attribute improves the performance of queries that use the attribute.

The sample RepositoryConfiguration object specifies default inline attributes for User objects, as follows:

<TypeDataStore typeName=’User’ ... attr1=’MemberObjectGroups’ \
  attr2=’lastname’ attr3=’firstname’ attr4=’’ attr5=’’ />

Do not change the value of attr1, which is set to attr1=’MemberObjectGroups’. You can, however, specify the name of any attribute that is queryable and single-valued as the value of any of the remaining inline columns (attr2 through attr5).

• If you change the inline attributes for Type.USER, you must refresh all User objects.

  For more information, see Refreshing User Objects.

• Changes to the RepositoryConfiguration object do not take effect until you restart each Waveset server. Restarting an Waveset server restarts the Repository on that server, which causes the Repository to re-read the RepositoryConfiguration object.

To view or edit the RepositoryConfiguration object, you must have Debug and Security Administrator capabilities.
