BIRT_RENDER_FORMAT_EMITTER_ID_MAPPING | Specifies which emitter will be used for a specific BIRT report. Valid entries are of the format "render_format:emitter_ID" separated by a semicolon. The default value is: html:org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.html;xhtml:com. actuate.birt.report.engine.emitter.xhtml;pdf:org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.pdf;postscript:org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.postscript;xls:com.actuate.birt.report.engine.emitter.xls;ppt:org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.ppt;pptx:com.actuate.birt.report.engine.emitter.pptx;doc:org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.word;docx:com.actuate.birt.report.engine.emitter.docx |
CACHE_CONTROL | Specifies how a web browser caches information using one of the following values: ![]() If multiple users access Visualization Platform client from the same machine, they can view the same cached data. Setting CACHE_CONTROL to NO‑CACHE prevents different users viewing data cached by the browser. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Caching information reduces the number of server requests that the browser must make and the frequency of expired page messages. Caching increases security risks because of the availability of information in the cache. For additional information about cache control, see the HTTP/1.1 specifications. |
CONNECTION_TIMEOUT | Controls how many seconds Visualization Platform client waits for a request to complete before dropping the connection to the application server or BIRT iHub. Set this value to limit wait times. The default value is 0, meaning the connection is never dropped. |
COOKIE_DOMAIN | Specifies the host name of the server setting the cookie. The cookie is only sent to hosts in the specified domain of that host. The value must be the same domain the client accesses. Visualization Platform client automatically sets this parameter. For example, if the client accesses http://www.actuate.com/iportal/login.do, the domain name is actuate.com. |
COOKIE_ENABLED | Indicates whether to use cookies to store information between user logins. The default value is True. If False, Visualization Platform client does not use cookies. Without cookies, many Visualization Platform client features are unavailable or do not persist across sessions. For example, without cookies, user name, language, and time zone settings always use their default values when a new browser session begins. |
COOKIE_HTTPONLY | Sets the HTTPonly property of cookie stored by Visualization Platform client. In supported browsers, this property prevents third-party scripts from accessing cookies generated by Visualization Platform client. The default value is true, which enables the HTTPOnly flag. |
COOKIE_SECURE | Indicates whether to access and write cookies securely. If true, cookies are only written if a secure connection, such as HTTPS, is established. The default value is false, which enables cookies for all connection types. |
DATAFIELDS_DISPLAY_ORDER | Specifies display order of Fields and Folders. Default value is "ascending". Valid values are: "ascending", "descending", "none". |
DEFAULT_LOCALE | Specifies the default locale. Visualization Platform client sets this parameter value during installation. The locale map is <context root>\WEB‑INF\localemap.xml. |
DEFAULT_PAGE_BREAK_INTERVAL | Specifies the number of rows to display in one page when viewing a report. If set to 0, there are no page breaks. |
DEFAULT_TIMEZONE | Specifies the default time zone. Visualization Platform client sets this parameter value during installation. The time zone map is <context root>\WEB-INF\TimeZones.xml. |
ENABLE_CLIENT_SIDE_REDIRECT | Specifies whether URL redirection is done on the client side or the server side. Set the value to True for client side redirection. The default value is False. For more information about URL redirection, see Using proxy servers with Visualization Platform client. |
ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING | Indicates whether to record debugging messages in a log file called Debug.log. Set the value to True to enable debug messages in the log file. The default value is False. |
ENABLE_ERROR_LOGGING | Indicates whether to log errors. This parameter’s default value is True, which enables error logging. If you set this parameter to True, Visualization Platform client creates two error log files: ![]() ![]() |
ENABLE_JUL_LOG | Indicates whether to log Visualization Platform client activity. This parameter’s default value is TRUE, which enables logging. If you set this parameter to TRUE, Visualization Platform client creates log files named reportService.<Service number>.<System name>.<Visualization Platform client start up time stamp>.<File number>.log. |
ERROR_LOG_FILE_ROLLOVER | Specifies the time period to wait before starting a new log file. Options are Daily, Monthly, Weekly, and Yearly. The default value is Monthly. |
EXECUTE_DASHBOARD_GADGET_GENERATION_WAIT_TIME | Specifies the time to wait, in seconds, for a gadget to generate when running a dashboard design file. This parameter’s default value is 2 seconds. |
EXECUTE_REPORT_WAIT_TIME | Specifies the time to wait, in seconds, for a report to execute. This parameter’s default value is 20 seconds. For more information about the wait time parameter, see Integrating Applications into BIRT iHub. |
FORCED_GC_INTERVAL | Indicates the length in seconds of the interval that the Visualization Platform client application waits between forced garbage collections. To disable garbage collection, set this parameter to 0, the default value. Use this parameter to tune application server performance. 600 seconds is the recommended value. If the value is too low, the application server performs garbage collection too frequently, slowing the system. If the value is too high, you waste memory. If disabled, the application server controls garbage collection. |
GADGET_ GENERATION_ WAITING_TIME | Specifies the time to wait, in seconds, for an individual gadget to generate. This parameter’s default value is 10 seconds. |
IDAPI_TIMEOUT | Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a SOAP message response. This value must be larger than the maximum time necessary to run a report design or Visualization Platform client generates a time-out error for some reports. Its default value is 7200. |
INSTALL_MODE | Indicates whether Visualization Platform client is installed with iHub. The value is set when Visualization Platform client is installed. Do not change this setting. |
JUL_LOG_CONSOLE_LEVEL | The level of Visualization Platform client activity to log to the console. Valid values are OFF, SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, FINEST, in order of the number of messages to log. The default value is OFF. |
JUL_LOG_FILE_COUNT | Specifies the number of log files for a particular time stamp, if the value of ENABLE_JUL_LOG is TRUE. |
JUL_LOG_FILE_LEVEL | The level of Visualization Platform client activity to log in a file. Valid values are OFF, SEVERE, WARNING, INFO, CONFIG, FINE, FINER, FINEST, in order of the number of messages to log. The default value is WARNING. |
JUL_LOG_FILE_SIZE_KB | The maximum size, in kilobytes, for a Visualization Platform client activity log file. When a log file reaches this size, Visualization Platform client creates a new log file and increments its file number. If the log file number reaches the value of JUL_LOG_FILE_COUNT, Visualization Platform client resets the file number to zero and overwrites the first log file for the time stamp. |
LOG_FILE_LOCATION | Indicates which directory contains the log files. If the value is not an absolute directory path name, Visualization Platform client locates the directory in the Visualization Platform client home directory. The default value is logs in the Visualization Platform client home directory. |
LOGIN_TIMEOUT | Specifies the number of seconds to wait before a session times out. The minimum login time-out is 300 seconds. The maximum value is equivalent to java.lang.Long. Its default value is 1200 seconds. |
MAX_BACKUP_ERROR_LOGS | Specifies the maximum number of backup error log files to keep. The default value is 10. |
MAX_LIST_SIZE | Limits the number of items returned when getting folder items, jobs, job notices, scheduled jobs, and subscriptions to reduce network traffic. The default value is 150. |
MOBILE_APP_DOWNLOAD | The URL target of the download button displayed by Visualization Platform client when viewed in mobile/touch device. |
PROGRESSIVE_REFRESH | Controls the interval in seconds at which an Actuate report refreshes itself when running a progressive report. The report refreshes first after 15 seconds, then after 60 seconds, and then after the PROGRESSIVE_REFRESH interval. If the value is less than 60, Visualization Platform client uses 60 seconds. This parameter’s default value is 1800 seconds. |
