Point Manager Parameters

Instructs the server to manually run a forced Garbage Collection with Large Object Heap compaction. When set to a negative value (default) this feature is disabled. A value greater than or equal to 0 specifies the number of minutes after local midnight to wait before scheduling the garbage collection.

This forced garbage collection should not be necessary for most systems.  .NET Framework should be managing the memory usage, and releasing the memory as needed over time.  However, some systems may want to use this daily check to prevent the perception that the AnalytiX-BI engine is leaking memory or to better manage a high-memory system.

Defines the delay after which the BI Server will perform a full garbage collection with Large Heap compaction when some runtime operation has caused table data to change. Such operations include: loading data into a table (either on start up or via trigger), changes to the table schema that require a data reload or changes to the data model (going offline, deleting or adding tables). Configuring this setting to a negative value disables this behavior.

Defines how many rows are requested at the time from the data source associated with the data table.

Defines how many times to retry a loading task if the task fails (returns an error or has an exception).

Defines the amount of time to wait, in milliseconds, after a loading task failure before retrying.

Defines the time, in seconds, after which a loading task will be considered timed out and then aborted.

Loading tasks process the data in chunks of rows (see DataflowBoundedCapacity parameter) and this timeout value applies to reading a single chunk of data from the dataflow, after which it will reset to read the next chunk.

Please note that there is a notable exception for data flows using the Transpose Step, as this step must consume the entire input before producing its output which means that this parameter value must be made large enough for the Transpose step to have the time to consume the entire input data source.

A loading task that times out is not retried.  The retry count and retry delay below do not apply to loading tasks that have timed out.

When true, exposes single column datasets as FrameWorX arrays.

When true, the server will keep track of columns involved in predicates of executed queries. Based on usage, statistics will be automatically created for frequently used columns and, for the most used columns in predicates, an index may be created as well.

Statistics help the query optimizer in reordering predicates to improve query execution times. Indexes are used, when applicable, in place of table scans to improve query execution times.

When true, the @@LastError point will be available in runtime for Data Tables under the @@Diagnostics folder.

When true, the server will cache query execution plans after they are generated the first time.

Caching query plans might improve execution times of small queries, where the time spent in building the execution plan is comparable – or greater – than the time spent executing the query.

This setting only applies when ReportWorX64, BridgeWorX64, or AnalytiX-BI are clients to a dataflow.

This value determines how long the server waits for the next read operation from a client before closing the connection. Longer values may reduce overhead of opening and closing the connection, but may keep connections active longer than required. Shorter values may cause unnecessary repeated closing and reopening of the connection.

Defines a sliding window of inactivity.  If a cached query result is not accessed in inactivity window, it will be dropped from the cache.

Defines how the maximum number of query results to keep in the AnalytiX-BI Server cache. If the cache is full, existing results are evicted from the cache by LRU (Least Recently Used).
