TIMINGMESSAGES

Controls whether Essbase logs the duration of each spreadsheet and report query in the application log.

Syntax

TIMINGMESSAGES TRUE | FALSE

If you have not created a .CFG file, or if you do not have this parameter specified in your .CFG file, Essbase automatically records and logs the duration of queries in the application log. You must set TIMINGMESSAGES to FALSE to disable this feature.

Description

TIMINGMESSAGES controls whether Essbase logs the duration of each spreadsheet and report query in the application log. Setting TIMINGMESSAGES to FALSE disables the logging of query durations in the application log. If the timing of queries is disabled, Essbase does not have to communicate with the operating system to get query start and finish times. As a result, query execution times may be improved in environments with many concurrent users. Disabling this parameter also decreases the size of the application log.

Example

TIMINGMESSAGES TRUE

Causes Essbase to time and log the duration of queries in the application log.

For example: [Thu Mar 19 14:55:32 1998]Local/Sample/Basic/admin/Info(1020055) Spreadsheet Extractor Elapsed Time : [0.078] seconds

TIMINGMESSAGES FALSE

disables the logging of query durations.
