Configuration settings E-M

The centralized configuration forms store the configuration settings. All the numeric values for the settings are in base 10 system. You can modify the settings by using the AR System Configuration Generic UI form. The settings are case- and space-sensitive. See Updating configuration settings by using the AR System Configuration Generic UI form.

Note

BMC recommends that you use the AR System Configuration Generic UI form to modify the configuration settings. Do not use the ar.cfg file to modify the configuration settings on the AR System Configuration Generic UI form.

The following table lists the settings available for centralized configuration.

Tip

If you cannot view all the columns, click Full screen in the upper-right corner of the page to open it in full screen mode. Alternatively, use the scroll bar at the bottom of the table.
Press F to view the table in full screen mode. Press Esc to exit full screen mode.
To easily search for a specific parameter in the table, select the parameter from the Setting list. Alternatively, type the name of the parameter in the Setting text box. For example, to search for the Next-ID-Block-Size parameter, select it from the Setting list, or type the parameter name in the Setting text box.
To search for the parameters which have a specific text string in the description, type the string in the Description text box. For example, to search for the parameters which have Configuration in the description, type Configuration in the Description text box.

Filter-Max-Stack	Maximum number of recursion levels allowed for an operation. The data modification performed by an AR_FILTER_ACTION_FIELDP filter action might trigger a second set, or level, of filters, one of which might trigger a third level of filters and so on. This option limits the number of times such recursion can happen, preventing the server crash that would occur if the recursion continued indefinitely. The default value is 25.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
Filter-Max-Total	Maximum number of filters that the server executes for a given operation. The default value is 10000.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
Force-RSSO-Authentication	This setting accepts a semicolon (;) separated list of client types.

If you change this option, you must restart the BMC Remedy AR System server for the change to take effect.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
Full-Text-Search-Threshold-High	During the processing of search results, the server combines results from subqueries to arrive at the final result set. If the number of rows created during processing exceeds this value, the server returns an error message indicating the search is too complex. The default value is 1,000,000.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
Full-Text-Search-Threshold-Low	While processing search results, the server creates a temporary table if the number of FTS matches reaches this value.

This home page is used only if The current server is designated as the server for the home page in the BMC Remedy AR System User Preference form. Or The current server is designated as the home page server on the General Settings page in Mid Tier Configuration Tool (see Configuring the General Settings page.) And No home page is specified in the BMC Remedy AR System User Preference form. Note: If the home page is deleted, this option is cleared, and the default home page must be re-entered.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
Internal-User-Info-Hash-Lists²	Number of shared, linked lists that hold all user-related information. This number must be a power of 2. The default setting is 128. The minimum number is 2. There is no maximum. Note: BMC Remedy AR System does not verify that this number is a power of 2. If the number is not a power of 2, the AR System server might behave in unexpected ways.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
Internal-User-Instance-Timeout²	Time, in minutes, that the AR System server waits before removing inactive user instances from its internal memory cache. Use this option in an LDAP environment to reduce the frequency of checks against an outside authenticator (if a user's record is in server memory, the server does not need to check the user's password outside the system). The default is 2 hours (120 minutes), and the minimum is 30 minutes. Note: This value must be greater than or equal to the value of the Floating License Timeout on the AR System Administration: Server Information form's Timeouts tab (by default, 2 hours). If you specify a value that is less than the Floating License Timeout, you will not receive an error. Inactive user instances, however, will not be removed in less than the time specified by the Floating License Timeout. If you do not set this option, the persistence of inactive user instances is controlled by the Floating License Timeout.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
IP-Name	Option used to specify that a server has multiple names. This option can appear in the configuration file more than once. When checking workflow and connections against itself, the server compares its server name, host name, IP aliases, and any names specified by this option to the name passed to it. If the name matches any of those names, the server concludes that the workflow or connection is for itself. This option can be used for servers with variable length domains or for servers on computers with multiple internet addresses. For example, to connect to a computer named tix as tix, tix.company.com, or tix.eng.company.com, an administrator would create three IP-Name entries, one for each connection name. To connect to a computer with multiple internet addresses such as tix.company.com, tix.biggercompany.com, and tix.evenbigger.com, an administrator would create an IP-Name entry for each of those addresses.

Log-Form-Selected (Component name: com.bmc.arsys.server)	Bitmask indicating the type of information to log in the common log form (AR System Log:ALL). To activate one bit, set this option to its value (values are listed under the Debug-mode option). To activate two or more bits, add their values, and set this option to the total. For example, to activate bits 1 and 3, set this option to 5 because bit 1 has a value of 1 and bit 3 has a value of 4. To deactivate a bit, subtract its value from the value of this option. This option does not apply to the following bits because information about their corresponding applications is not logged to a form: Bit 8 (value = 128 ) for ARFORK. Bit 16 (value = 32768 ) for the DSO server. Bit 17 (value = 65536 ) for Approval Server. Bit 18 (value = 131072 ) for the plug-in server.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
Log-To-Form	Bitmask indicating the information to log in predefined forms (for example, AR System Log: API and AR System Log: Filter). To activate one bit, set this option to its value (values are listed under the Debug-mode option). To activate two or more bits, add their values, and set this option to the total. For example, to activate bits 1 and 3, set this option to 5 because bit 1 has a value of 1 and bit 3 has a value of 4. To deactivate a bit, subtract its value from the value of this option. This option does not apply to the following bits because no log form is created for their corresponding applications: Bit 8 (value = 128 ) for ARFORK. Bit 16 (value = 32768 ) for the DSO server.

Max-Entries-Per-Query (Component name: com.bmc.arsys.server)	Maximum number of requests returned by a search. Because users can also specify the maximum number of requests returned through Search Preferences in the BMC Remedy AR System User Preference form, the actual maximum is the lower of these values. The default value is no server-defined maximum. BMC recommends always setting a value for this parameter as unqualified searches can yield enormous results resulting in unpredictable system behavior. In 9.1.02, the default value is set to 2000.	No	AR System Configuration Generic UI form
Max-Log-File-Size (Component name: com.bmc.arsys.server)	Maximum size in bytes for system log files.
