8.4.4.1 Configuring the Batch Control Utility

The <INSTALL_DIR>/database/db_tools/mantas_cfg/install.cfg file contains common configuration information that Batch Control and other utilities require for processing. The following sample section from the install.cfg file provides configuration information specific to this utility, including the single parameter that batch control requires.

###############BATCH CONTROL CONFIGURATION ##################### 
#When ending the batch, age alerts in calendar or business days.

The value of the age.alerts.useBusinessDays parameter indicates that at completion of an end-of-day batch process, the Behavior Detection application calculates the age of active alerts by number of calendar days (N) or business days (Y). The value of this parameter resides in the KDD_CAL table (See Table 54 for more information).

The utility connects to the database employing the user that the utils.database.username property specifies in the install.cfg file.
