Universe Pull Settings¶
| Field | Default | Range | What it does | Config key |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Universe Metadata pull period (min): | 5 | 1 - 10080 | Minutes between universe (UNV and UNX) deep processing runs | universe.deep.pull.period |
Webi Pull Settings¶
| Field | Default | Range | What it does | Config key |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Webi Metadata pull period: | 5 | 1 - 10080 | Minutes between Web Intelligence deep processing runs | webi.deep.pull.period |
| Webi RTM pull period: | 3 | 3 - 15 | Seconds between Web Intelligence real-time metric reads | webi.rtm.pull.period |
| Threads per Webi: | 4 | 1 - 10 | Web Intelligence documents processed in parallel | threads.per.web |
| Webi Real-time Metrics | On | - | Collects real-time activity from the Web Intelligence Processing Servers | webi.metrics.enabled |
Real-time metrics need two-way network access
Webi Real-time Metrics requires two-way communication between the MetaMiner Server and every Web Intelligence Processing Server host. Turn it off if firewalls block this. It is available only in editions that include it.
Data Type Settings¶
| Field | Default | Range | What it does | Config key |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threads per datatype: | 4 | 1 - 10 | Parallel workers for each object type | threads.per.datatype |
Other options¶
| Field | Default | What it does | Config key |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQL Engine Enabled | On | Parses Web Intelligence data provider SQL and Crystal command SQL for database impact analysis. CPU intensive; turn off only while diagnosing. Permanently off if your edition does not include it. | sql.engine.enabled |
| Pull Server Metrics | On | Reads BusinessObjects server metrics every 5 minutes. The query can take a while on large clusters. | cms.pull.metrics |
| Keep BIAR Files | Off | Keeps BIAR files produced by export and promotion actions on disk instead of deleting them | keep.biars |
| Retrieve Access Level Metadata | On | Stores the security roles of all users and groups on folders, used by security analysis | pullSecurityRoleMetadata (top-level in config.json) |
Support-only options
The page also shows two options used only by Infolytik Support for testing. Leave them off.
Tuning guidance¶
- Raising thread counts speeds up processing but adds load on the CMS, the Web Intelligence Processing Servers and the MetaMiner Database. Raise one step at a time and watch Host Metrics.
- Lengthen the deep processing periods if documents change rarely and you want less load during the day, or use Do Not Disturb windows for fixed busy hours.
