Configuration File - Production System

<STRING name="ConnectionType">REMOTE_SUPERADMIN</STRING>

The type of connection to the server. This setting can have one of the following values:

LOCAL_SERVER

REMOTE_SUPERADMIN

<STRING name="DatabasePath">svdatabase.xml</STRING>

The location of the XML file containing details of the database catalogue. This file is only required for local mode; it tells Production System where to find the local SXV4 databases.

You can either use an absolute path or a relative path. If you specify a relative path, then it must be relative to the location of sa2ps.config.xml.

By default, this is set to use svdatabase.xml, which is located in the same directory as sa2ps.config.xml.

<STRING name="LocalLegacySXV4Codepage"></STRING>

The codepage to use when loading old SXV4s. If this is empty then Production System will use the current system locale.

If you have SXV4s created prior to version 8.0 that contain non English/ASCII characters, then you may need to change this setting to use these with Production System in local mode. See Unicode - SuperSTAR for more information.

<STRING name="HostName">localhost</STRING>

<NUMBER name="Port" value="9230" />

The hostname and port number of the SuperSERVER to connect to.

These settings are only used for REMOTE_SUPERADMIN mode.

<STRING name="User">user1</STRING>

<STRING name="Password">user1</STRING>

The username and password to use to connect to SuperSERVER. You will need to change these to a valid user account on your deployment. Make sure this user account has access to all the databases on the SuperSERVER that you will be using with Production System.

These settings are only used for REMOTE_SUPERADMIN mode.

<NUMBER name="NumberOfThreads" value="1" />

<NUMBER name="MaxSizeForDenseDataCube" value="1000000" />

The maximum number of cells in a table before the results will be stored in a sparse data cube. Below this threshold, the results will be stored in a dense data cube.

See Performance - Production System for more information.

<STRING name="ConfidIni"></STRING>

<BOOL name="AllowZeroSuppression" value="false" />

Whether to allow zero suppression (suppression of rows and columns that contain only zeros):

false

true

<BOOL name="DebugOutput" value="false" />

Determines whether intermediate files are deleted at the end of processing.

false

true

<STRING name="TauArgusTotal">Total</STRING>

<STRING name="Separator">,</STRING>

<STRING name="QuoteString">"</STRING>

<STRING name="TauARGUSLogPath"></STRING>

<NUMBER name="Precision" value="6" />

<BOOL name="EnableCharSepOutput" value="true" />

<BOOL name="EnableTXDOutput" value="false" />

TXD format.

This option is included for testing purposes only. Please note that when running in remote mode any user defined fields in the TXD will be removed when the TXD output is generated by Production System.

<BOOL name="EnableSXV4Output" value="false" />

<BOOL name="EnableXMLOutput" value="false" />

<BOOL name="EnableCALSOutput" value="false" />

<BOOL name="EnableRVOutputCSV" value="false" />

<BOOL name="MultithreadedOutput" value="false" />

Whether to use multiple threads to write the output. Using multiple threads can make Production System generate the output more quickly.

false

true

<BOOL name="WriteNullRecords" value="false" />

Whether to output rows containing only zeros.

false

true

<NUMBER name="FileWriterBufferSize" value="32768" />

<NUMBER name="FuzzFactor" value="5.0e-9" />

<STRING name="Separator">,</STRING>

<STRING name="PrimaryDimension">wafer</STRING>

The axis to iterate across first. You can set this to wafer, row, or column.

Character separated files represent two dimensional tables (rows and columns), while Space-Time Research files have three dimensions (rows, columns and wafers). The output module therefore needs to merge two of those dimensions together. Use the PrimaryDimension and the SecondaryDimension settings to specify which dimensions to merge and display in the rows.

By default, PrimaryDimension is set to wafer and SecondaryDimension is set to row. This means the wafer and row dimensions will be merged and placed into the rows in the output as follows:

                 Column
Wafer    Row     1     2     3
                 4     5     6
         Row     7     8     9
                 10    11    12 

<STRING name="SecondaryDimension">row</STRING>

<STRING name="Organisation"></STRING>

<BOOL name="WritePrimaryHeadings" value="true" />

<BOOL name="WriteSecondaryHeadings" value="true" />

<BOOL name="WriteTertiaryHeadings" value="true" />

<BOOL name="WriteBlankIfNoPrimaryHeadings" value="true" />

<BOOL name="WriteBlankIfNoSecondaryHeadings" value="true" />

<BOOL name="WriteBlankIfNoTertiaryHeadings" value="true" />

<BOOL name="WriteHeader" value="false" />

<BOOL name="WriteFooter" value="false" />

<BOOL name="WriteXLSTertiaryHeadings" value="false" />

<BOOL name="UseZeroString" value="true" />

Whether to output the zero string:

false

true

<STRING name="CodePage"></STRING>

The system codepage to use when saving the CSV output. By default the output will be saved in UTF-8, but if you want to specify a specific codepage you can do so here.

For example:

<STRING name="CodePage">1251</STRING>

<BOOL name="WriteZeroRecords" value="false" />

Whether to write zero cells to the cube.

false

true

<NUMBER name="CommitInterval" value="5000" />

The number of records stored in memory before being written to disk.

You are not recommended to change this unless you encounter errors when building SXV4 cubes.

<BOOL name="EnableCubeAggregation" value="false" />

Whether to enable cube aggregation.

false

true

<STRING name="AggregationHierarchalField"></STRING>

<BOOL name="PreferHierarchy" value="true" />

Production System can build a cube from aggregated data. In some cases the data in the cube must not be aggregated further because it contains statistical functions (such as minimum, maximum or mean), and further aggregation of that data would lead to meaningless results. For example, the minimum income of Victoria is not the sum of the minimum incomes of all Victorian postcodes.

Use this setting to disable hierarchy tree building:

false

true

<STRING name="Separator">,</STRING>

<BOOL name="Quotes" value="true" />

Whether to quote output data:

false

true

<NUMBER name="LimitOfRecords" value="-1" />

The maximum number of records to output.

Set this to -1 if you do not want to limit the number of records output.

<NUMBER name="NumberDecimalPlaces" value="2" />

<BOOL name="RelatedRecordView" value="false" />

Whether to enable related Record View:

false

true

<STRING name="CodePage"></STRING>

The system codepage to use when saving the Record View output. By default the output will be saved in UTF-8, but if you want to specify a specific codepage you can do so here.

For example:

<STRING name="CodePage">1251</STRING>

<STRING name="AggregateStatFunctions"></STRING>

<STRING name="Algorithm">Step</STRING>

The quantile calculation method:

Step

AverageStep

WeightedAverage

The algorithm names are not case sensitive.

See the documentation for the SuperADMIN cat Quantile command for more information about these algorithms.
