The default value for this parameter is 0.

Specify the maximum number of symbols (from 1 to 32000) to allow when considering the use of range conversion logic for a dimension.

Range conversion logic is used to optimize the SQL statements generated when querying data from the database. The logic considers converting one dimension's query constraint to a parameter and repeatedly re-executing the statement with different parameter values, as this can be more efficient than a BETWEEN clause, which can sometimes return extra data that needs to be discarded. This parameter determines the maximum number of symbols to allow in a dimension being considered for range conversion (and therefore the maximum number of re-executions of the statement).

The default value for this parameter is 32000.

Specify the maximum number of symbols (from 1 to 32000) to allow when considering the use of an IN clause for a dimension.

Range conversion logic is used to optimize the SQL statements generated when querying data from the database. The logic considers converting one dimension's query constraint to an IN clause explicitly listing the individual symbols requested, as this can be more efficient than a BETWEEN clause, which can sometimes return extra data that needs to be discarded. This parameter determines the maximum number of symbols to allow in an IN clause.

The default value for this parameter is 10.

This parameter applies only to Oracle systems.

Specify whether Oracle database statistics are gathered automatically on the temporary tables after they are created.

The default value for this parameter is 50000.

Specify the number of jobs in which to divide a Writer job destined for one table, so that multiple writers can work on them concurrently. This number can range from 1 to 256. It is faster to have many processes updating one table in parallel than to have just one process update the table with all records sequentially.

The default value for this parameter is 1.

• TRUE — Use this value to compress temp files. If you specify this value, less disk space is required for temporary files. However, there is also a slight impact on the CPU.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable compression of temp files.

The default value for this parameter is TRUE.

Specify whether a partition recalculation, restatement, or import should expect an external load to occur (for example, piped loading during a recalculation).

• TRUE — If you use this value, the recalculation, restatement, or import truncates the tables, but does not load the resulting ASCII file (ftd_Pnnn.out). In this case, it is the responsibility of the Administrator to prepare the external load scripts.
• FALSE — If you use this value, the recalculation truncates the table and loads it (via SQL*Loader for Oracle, or via bulk insert for SQL server).

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify the fetch size used by the Journal Entry Server during journal entry recalculations. This number can range from 1000 to 128000. A larger fetch size results in faster recalculations but consumes more memory. The default value for this parameter is 25000.

If you are using a tiered system (the application server and database server are on separate host machines) with SQL Server, you must set this parameter to the following network share value:

"\\AppServer\ShareName\Path", where

• AppServer is the name of the application server.
• ShareName is the name of the network share to grant access to.
• Path is the path from the network share to the folder where the files are saved.

For more information on tiered systems, see “Preparing for a tiered system”.

The default value for this parameter is "C:\Longview\DataServers\LID\recalc" where LID is the Longview Identifier for the system.

• Dimension — Specify a specific dimension name in which to split up the leaf records into smaller jobs.
• AUTO — Use this value to split up the leaf records of the dimension with the largest number of symbols into smaller jobs.

Sometimes this choice results in unbalanced performance, which can be detected by noting the last message from each Math Server during a recalculation or restatement. If some Math Servers complete long before others, the jobs are not balanced. If so, select a dimension in which the data is evenly distributed.

Avoid specifying dimensions with single symbols that contain large percentages of data.

• The password must contain at least one character from each of the following categories — uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), base 10 digits (0-9), and special characters ( ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ - + = ` \ ( ) { } [ ] : ; ' < > , . ? / ).
• The password must meet the length as specified for PASSWORD_MINIMUM_LENGTH.
• The password cannot contain the whole Username, First Name, or Last Name of the user that the password is assigned to, in either uppercase or lowercase, if they are more than two characters in length. If any of the following characters ( . - _ # ! ` ~ @ ' ), or any spaces appear in the Username, First Name, or Last Name, these characters are treated as delimiters instead of consecutive characters.

For example, the password for user ‘Jean-Paul’ cannot contain the strings ‘jean’ or ‘paul’ but can contain ‘pau’.

• The password cannot contain any of the password dictionary strings, in either uppercase or lowercase. For more information, see PASSWORD_DICTIONARY_LOCATION.

Specify the minimum length for passwords, in number of characters. This number can range from 1 to 63.

Note: If you set PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY to TRUE, avoid setting this parameter to a value of 3 or less. Since password complexity restrictions require that passwords must contain at least one character from four different categories, passwords that are three or less characters in length will not be permitted.

The default value for this parameter is 8.

Specify the number of days until a password expires. This number can range from 1 to 10000. The default value for this parameter is 30.

Specify the number of days before the value set in PASSWORD_EXPIRY to send a password expiry warning. This number can range from 1 to 10000.

For example, if PASSWORD_EXPIRY is set to 30, and PASSWORD_EXPIRY_WARNING is set to 5, a password expiry warning is sent to the user on the twenty-fifth day (five days before the value set in PASSWORD_EXPIRY).

The default value for this parameter is 5.

Specify whether to enforce password changes.

• TRUE — Use this value to force users to change their passwords the first time they log in or after their password is reset.
• FALSE — Use this value to allow users to retain their initial passwords. Passwords do not have to be changed.

The default value for this parameter is TRUE.

Specify the number of days, after a password is set or reset, until it can be reused. This number can range from 0 to 3650.

A password cannot be reused until both the number of days set by this parameter and the number of changes set in PASSWORD_CHANGES_BEFORE_REUSE have been exceeded.

The default value for this parameter is 1.

Specify the number of password changes that must occur before a password can be reused. This number can range from 0 to 1000.

A password cannot be reused until both the number of days set in PASSWORD_DAYS_BEFORE_REUSE and the number of changes has been exceeded.

The default value for this parameter is 1.

Specify the number of times a user can enter an incorrect password before they are locked out of the system. This number can range from 0 to 100. The default value for this parameter is 3.

Specifies the time interval, in minutes, between when an account is locked (due to repeated failed password attempts, exceeding the number set in PASSWORD_FAIL_ATTEMPTS), and when the account is unlocked. This number can range 0 to 1440.

If this parameter is set to 0, the account is locked until the administrator resets the password.

The default value for this parameter is 10.

Specifies whether users can reset their passwords from the Longview Dashboard web Sign On dialog.

• TRUE — Users can reset their passwords from the web Sign On dialog.
• FALSE — Users cannot reset their passwords from the web Sign On dialog.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Note: For users to reset their passwords from the web Sign On dialog, they must have a unique email address as specified in their user settings. For more information, see the Longview Application Administrator Guide or the Longview Tax Administrator’s Guide.

This parameter applies only if ENABLE_PASSWORD_RESET is set to TRUE.

Specify the email address that the password reset link is sent from when users reset their passwords from the web Sign On dialog. This parameter must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

This parameter applies only if ENABLE_PASSWORD_RESET is set to TRUE.

Specify a description for the email address that the password reset link is sent from when users reset their passwords from the web Sign On dialog. This parameter must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

This parameter applies only if ENABLE_PASSWORD_RESET is set to TRUE.

Specifies the time, in minutes, before the password reset link expires. The password reset link is provided when users reset their password from the web Sign On dialog. This number can range from 0 to 1440.

The default value for this parameter is 60.

Specify whether to validate a web session ID against the user’s IP address for each web action. If you are using Longview HTTP Proxy Server, or any other proxy server, you must set this value to FALSE.

• TRUE — Use this value to validate a web session ID against the user’s IP address for each web action.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable web session ID to IP validation.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify whether cookies are used to pass the web session ID and its key information. When this parameter is set to TRUE, the user’s browser must allow cookies.

• TRUE — Use this value to pass the web session ID and its key information using cookies.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable cookie security.

The default value for this parameter is TRUE.

Specify whether Ticket Security is enabled. Ticket Security refers to using a single-use ticket when launching Longview components via URL links.

• TRUE - Use this value to enable Ticket Security
• FALSE - Use this value to disable Ticket Security

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Note:

If this parameter is set to TRUE:

• WEB_HTTPS must be set to FALSE

If you are using out-of-box functionality, no other changes are required. However, if you have custom links in the Analytic homepage or legacy Dashboard which launch Longview components, then these links must be updated to work with the new feature. For more information, contact Longview Support Services.

Specify the number of minutes that a ticket is valid when launching Longview components via URL links. This number can range from 2 to 10. The default value for this parameter is 2.

Specify whether Secure and HttpOnly attributes are added to the cookie header. When this parameter is set to TRUE, the Web Server uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

• TRUE — Use this value to add Secure and HttpOnly attributes to the cookie header.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable Secure and HttpOnly attributes in the cookie header.

The default value for this parameter is TRUE.

The WEB_COOKIE_SECURITY and WEB_HTTPS parameters behave together in the following ways:

• If WEB_COOKIE_SECURITY and WEB_HTTPS are both set to TRUE, the Web Server uses https (SSL) and cookies are used and have Secure and HttpOnly attributes set.
• If WEB_COOKIE_SECURITY is set to TRUE and WEB_HTTPS is set to FALSE, the Web Server uses http and cookies are used but do not have Secure and HttpOnly attributes set.
• If WEB_COOKIE_SECURITY is set to FALSE and WEB_HTTPS is set to TRUE, the Web Server uses https (SSL) and cookies are not used.
• If WEB_COOKIE_SECURITY and WEB_HTTPS are both set to FALSE, the Web Server uses http and cookies are not used.

This parameter applies only if USE_DATA_EVENT_SEQUENCING is FALSE.

Specify the minimum amount of time that must pass before the same Event action may be triggered again. The format for this value is mm:ss, where mm is the number of minutes, and ss is the number of seconds. The seconds value is optional. The minimum value for this parameter is 0 minutes, and the maximum is a combined value of 1440 minutes (one day).

The default value for this parameter is 0:05.

This parameter applies to SQL servers only.

This parameter, set in minutes, causes the server to check the connection each time it attempts to communicate with the database, and to reconnect if necessary. This number can range from 0 to 60.

If the connection fails during a SQL operation, a regular error message is returned, and the submission does not complete. The server tries to reconnect in the next operation. Reconnection attempts occur every five seconds for the duration of the time period (in minutes) defined by this parameter.

The default value for this parameter is 10.

Specify, in minutes, the amount of time during which the server attempts to connect to the database if the first attempt to connect failed. This number can range from 0 to 60. The server attempts to reconnect every five seconds until the value set is exceeded.

The default value for this parameter is 10.

This parameter applies only if USE_DATA_AREA_MONITORING is set to TRUE.

Specify the dimensions for which to enable data area monitoring. Separate multiple dimensions with a comma. Spaces are not supported. For example, Accounts,Entities,TimePer.

This parameter applies only if USE_DATA_AREA_MONITORING is set to TRUE.

Specify the dimension for which to enable data area status tracking. The dimension must be included in those specified for DATA_AREA_MONITORING_DIMENSIONS. For example, Entities.

If you do not specify a dimension for this parameter, data area status is not tracked.

Specify whether the HTML dashboard is used.

• TRUE — Dashboard is rendered using HTML5 and standards.
• FALSE — Dashboard is rendered using legacy HTML.

The default for this parameter is TRUE.

Specify whether to enable web trace, using one of the following options:

• TRUE — Enables web trace to assist in debugging web connection problems.
• FALSE — Disables web trace.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specifies the path to where the trace file is stored, which must be on the web server. The trace file contains data that may help in debugging web connection problems. For more information, consult Support Services at Longview.

This field is valid only when ENABLE_WEB_TRACE is set to TRUE. Specify the full path name of the output trace file. This path must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

The default location is "C:\longview\dataservers\LID\tmp".

Specify whether to include diagnostic service tracking information in the Longview Data Server Log (lv_dataserver.log).

• TRUE — Use this value to include diagnostic service tracking information. These statistics are included for agents, web agents, and locking, management, and security servers.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable logging of service tracking information.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify whether to include diagnostic service detail information in the Longview Data Server Log (lv_dataserver.log).

• TRUE — Use this value to include process timing and memory usage information in the Longview Data Server Log. Process timing information includes the elapsed time of a service, the count and sum of elapsed time per unique service, and summarized timing statistics. This information is included for agents, web agents, and locking, management, and security servers.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable tracking and logging of process timing and memory usage information.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify whether to track and log service activity information.

• TRUE — Use this value to generate a separate .csv log file per agent process that contains diagnostic service tracking information.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable tracking and logging of service activity information.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify whether to include query statistic information in the Longview Data Server Log (lv_dataserver.log).

• TRUE — Use this value to include query statistic information.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable tracking and logging of query statistic information.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify whether to log query information.

• TRUE — Use this value to generate a separate .csv log file per agent process, containing detailed information about all queries.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable query logging.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify whether to track and log RDBMS information.

• TRUE — Use this value to generate a separate .csv log file per agent process that contains RDBMS activity information.
• FALSE — Use this value to disable tracking and logging of RDBMS activity.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

This parameter applies only to partitioned systems. Specify whether the data tables are partitioned for parent data.

• TRUE — Use this value to partition parent data.
• FALSE — Use this value to use one table for parent data.

The default value for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify the amount of RAM (in KB) reserved in the KSA for data cache files. This value can range from 1024 to 100000000.

Increase this value to allocate more memory to this cache. Memory is allocated only if the value of USE_DATA_CACHE is TRUE. The size of this cache affects performance of queries when using data cache files.

The default value for this parameter is 102400.

Specify the amount of RAM (in KB) reserved in the KSA for the Management Server. This number can range from 1024 to 1245184.

This parameter depends on the number of symbols and parent/child relationships. To identify the minimum amount, see the Longview Data Server Log (lv_dataserver.log) after the Management Server has started. It must be higher than the minimum amount required, or the servers will not start. It should also be high enough to allow for expected growth in the size of the hierarchy; however, setting this value excessively high is not an effective use of memory. This value does not affect performance.

The default value for this parameter is 10240.

This parameter applies only if ACCOUNTING_NDD is set to TRUE. Specify the amount of RAM (in KB) reserved in the KSA for N-Dimensional Distribution (NDD). This parameter can range from 1024 to 2048000. This parameter depends on the number of symbols configured for NDD.

The default value for this parameter is 1024.

Specify the maximum amount of RAM (in KB) to be used by each Math Server in the Math Server pool. This value can range from 1024 to 2097151. The optimal value suggested by Longview is 262144.

Once the Math Server pool reaches that memory for a job, it transfers the data to the writer pool. Leave enough memory available for operating system overhead and the RDBMS (if it resides on the same machine).

To calculate the total possible memory consumption during a restatement or recalculation, multiply this number by the MATH_POOL value.

To speed up math operations (rollup, accounting, restatement, and model), you can increase this value to increase the overlap percentage, resulting in fewer redundant writes to the database tables. Increasing this value also helps to reduce temporary disk space usage. However, you will need to ensure that your system has enough memory to support the value you specify.

The default value for this parameter is 102400.

This parameter applies only if ACCOUNTING_TRN is set to TRUE. Specify the amount of RAM (in KB) reserved in the KSA for translation logic. This value can range from 1024 to 1024000 and depends on the number of different translation rates used.

The default value for this parameter is 10240.

This parameter applies only if USE_MODELS is set to TRUE. Specify the amount of RAM (in KB) reserved in the KSA for the Model Server. This value can range from 1024 to 102400 and depends on the number and complexity of server rules.

The default value for this parameter is 10240.

Enter the name of the controller host.

Enter the port used by the controller.

Enter the URL of the controller.

Specify whether this controller is used for math recalculation jobs.

• TRUE — This controller can process math recalculation jobs.
• FALSE — This controller does not process math recalculation jobs.

The default for this parameter is FALSE.

Specify the number of agents required to handle client connections from the Longview components. This value can range from 0 to 250.

If you specify a value of 0 (in other words, a dedicated server) the system uses one agent for each connection, rather than using a pool of agents.

The default value for this parameter is 10.

Specify the number of web agent workers to handle client connections from Longview Dashboard. This value can range from 0 to 250. The default value for this parameter is 10.

This parameter applies only if USE_JOURNAL_ENTRIES is set to TRUE. Specify the number of workers in the journal entry (JE) pool. This value can range from 1 to 100.

If the journal entry portion of a recalculation or restatement runs too slowly, you can increase this value to attempt to improve performance.

The default value for this parameter is 1.

Specify the number of Math Servers required to handle math logic. This number can range from 1 to 100000 and indicates the number of CPUs on the server machine. Longview suggests that you set this value to the total number of CPUs on the server machine for optimal performance.

The recalculation or restatement attempts to take full advantage of all available math Servers in the pool. If the math portion of a recalculation or restatement runs too slowly, increase this value. Remember, however, that increasing this number beyond the numbers of CPUs in your system will have less impact and may even slow it down.

The default value for this parameter is 1.

Specify the number of Submission Servers required to handle data submissions. This number can range from 1 to 100000. The default value for this parameter is 2.

Specify the number of Writer Servers required to handle data written to database. This value can range from 1 to 100000. You can increase this value if your system is partitioned at the leaf level.

The recalculation takes full advantage of all available writers in the pool. The writers are responsible for merging and sorting temporary files created by the Math Server, then loading the result into a data table.

You can set this parameter to a value as large as possible without causing disk bottlenecks on the server machine. In practice, many data tables may be small, with only a few large ones. In this case, the recalculation will likely not benefit from a WRITER_POOL value larger than the number of large data tables (since these are the loads likely to take the longest, any additional writers will be idle).

Increasing this parameter causes more concurrent table loads to occur during a recalculation or restatement. Increase this value to keep as many disks and controllers as possible utilized.

The default value for this parameter is 2.
