PS/nVision Section

If you plan to have PeopleSoft Process Scheduler invoke PS/nVision jobs, specify the appropriate parameters in this section.

Parameter Description

DrillDownDir

Specify the location of PS/nVision DrillDown files, such as %PS_HOME%\NVSION\LAYOUT\DRILLDN.

Note: If this directory is in %PS_HOME% it will be read-only. Only an Administrator can add new layout or modify existing layouts. If all users need write access to this directory use a directory outside PSHOME .

Note: For Windows 2008 , if a mapped drive path is used, it must be in UNC (universal naming convention) path format.

ExcelDir

Leave blank.

InstanceDir

Enter the location where PS/nVision places report instances, such as %PS_SERV%\NVSION\INSTANCE.

Note: When the PS/nvision instance directory is set to a mapped network drive and the output format used is HTML, PS/nVision hangs. The workaround is to use the UNC path.

LayoutDir

Specify the location of the PS/nVision layout, such as %PS_HOME%\NVISION\LAYOUT.

Note: If this directory is in %PS_HOME% it will be read-only. Only an Administrator can add new layout or modify existing layouts. If all users need write access to this directory use a directory outside PSHOME .

Note: For Windows 2008 , if a mapped drive path is used, it must be in UNC (universal naming convention) path format.

MacroDir

Enter the directory containing macros for PS/ nVision and Query Link, such as %PS_HOME%\EXCEL.

StyleDir

Enter the default location where PS/nVision keeps nPlosion Styles (these are usually inherited by the layout that the user is designing).

TemplateDir

Enter the location of the QUERY.XLT file, which defines the Microsoft Excel styles for formatting output. The default is the \MacroDir, such as %PS_HOME%\EXCEL.

EnableDrillDownForFile

Use PS/nVision on the web.

Indicate whether you want to enable drilldown on a report with the output type of file.

1 = Enable drilldown.

0 = Disable drilldown (default).

EnablePollDialogs

Use PS/nVision on the web.

Indicate whether you want the system to poll and automatically kill unattended dialogs generated from PS/nVision in batch mode (for example, dialog messages from Excel displaying on the webserver).

1 = Enable poll dialogs.

0 = Disable poll dialogs (default).

PollDialogSeconds

Enter the time, in seconds, used to cycle polling for the dialog.

TraceLevel

Use PS/nVision on the web.

Indicate whether you want the system to generate independent trace/log files, and at what level, for each nVision process. Trace files can be viewed from the Process Monitor Details - View Log/Trace page.

0 = Disable trace files (default).

1 = Generate basic high level information.

2 = Generate level 1 tracing plus high level code flow.

3 = Generate level 2 tracing plus SQL statements.

4 = Generate level 3 tracing plus most function calls and output values.

Note: Extensive tracing will impact performance.

SaveTempFile

Indicate whether you want PS/nVision to save or delete the temporary reports created when running them to email, printer, or web output.

0 = Temporary reports will be deleted. (Default).

1 = Temporary reports will be saved.

Note: Reports that are run to email or printer will be saved to the folder specified in the Directory Name Template field of the report request. Reports that are run to web will be saved to the PS/nVision instance directory.

UseExcelAutomation

Use this parameter to enable or disable Excel automation mode.

The default value is 0.

Do not change this value as this is currently the only mode under which nVision can run.

AsofDateForLabels

See PS/nVision: Specifying the AsofDateForLabels Option

RetrieveActiveTreeLabels

RetrieveActiveTreeLabels is used to specify whether only active tree node label descriptions are retrieved for nVision reports and drilldowns. The default setting RetrieveActiveTreeLabels=0 enables PS/nVision to disregard the activeness of the tree node label descriptions. When RetrieveActiveTreeLabels=1, nVision strictly use the activeness of the tree node label descriptions.
