Defining Advanced Register Entry Settings

  To define register entries:

1. Select Server then Settings.

2. Select Advanced

3. Optional: In Max number of worker processes, enter a number for the MaxBackgroundWorkers register.

   Defines the number of slots available for simultaneous long runtime background processes such as database exports, server consolidations, and Entity Change Manager runs.

   If the number of long runtime processes exceeds MaxBackgroundWorkers, new processes are queued until a BackgroundWorker slot becomes available.

   Use this equation to estimate the MaxBackgroundWorkers setting:

   • For consolidation-intensive servers: (Number of Physical Processors) - 1

   • For database export-intensive servers: 2 x (Number of Physical Processors)

4. Optional: In Maximum Intensive Requests, enter a number for the MaximumIntensiveRequests register.

   Defines the number of slots available on the server for large file operations, such as Entity Check-in/-out. This enables the server to consolidate resources.

   If the number of large file operations exceeds the MaximumIntensiveRequests number, the user receives a message to try again later.

   Use this calculation to estimate the MaximumIntensiveRequests setting, where Max. Memory is, by default, 2048 MB:

   (Avg. file size x 2) / (Max. memory - 100 MB)

5. In Minimum Free Memory in KB, view the minimum amount of memory designated for use by HSF Service.

   The HSF Service buffer size buffer guarding against running out of virtual memory.

6. Optional: From Error Trace Level, select an option for the TraceLevel register that determines the information recorded in

   %EPM_ORACLE_HOME%\products\hsf\HSFData\Admin\Default.log.

   • Normal — Nothing is logged

   • Info — Actions are logged

   • Error — Error messages are logged.

7. Optional: In Most Recent Used File List Size, enter a number for the MRUListSize register.

   The number of entities held open in the server's in-memory cache. Increase this number to speed-up access to data in recently used-files. Use only if the server machine the memory capacity.

   Default: 5

8. Optional: In Archive Warning Level, set the ArchiveWarningLevel registry.

   You use the ArchiveWarningLevel to override the archive check, in case you keep the archives without running the archive repair.

   Valid values:

   • Silent

     Overrides the archive check, enabling the use of out-of-synchronization archives.

   • Warn

     Enables the use of out-of-synchronization archives, but when a user opens one, a message is logged.

   • Block

     When someone tries to open an out-of-synchronization archive, the system displays a warning message and blocks the use of the archive. Default.

9. Optional: Select Insert NULL for root parent in Extended Analytics.

   If an entity is a child of a parent in Strategic Finance, a reference to the parent is stored in EntityParentID of the Entity table. If this attribute must be NULL in exports, select this option. Default: Selected.

10. In Database Export Package, select the service (either HSFService or AlcarService) used to export data.

11. In Minimum Free Disk Space in MB view the amount of minimum free disk space required for operation.

    Default: 100 MB

12. In Server RPC Port Number, view the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) port used by the Strategic Finance server and client for communicating.

    Default: 7750

13. In Server ID, view the server ID.

    A unique server ID for controlling the check-in/out of entities. With multiple production servers, use this parameter to assign unique identities:

    Default: HYP00001

14. In Highest Current Entity ID Number, specify the highest entity ID number of all entities in the database.
