Configuration

• The configuration record contains default values to be used across the system.

• Although multiple records may exist, only the one associated with configuration ID 1 is ever used.

The following list defines every field available in the configuration (meta_md_config) table in alphabetical order:

• Application Inactivity Timeout - the inactivity timeout value used to trigger the expiration of a session application that has been inactive for a given period of time. When the selected value of inactivity is reached, the system automatically releases all locks within the application and forces the expiration of the session application. The following options are available:
  • 5 - Five Minutes
  • 10 - Ten Minutes
  • 15 - Fifteen Minutes (default)
  • 30 - Thirty Minutes
  • 60 - One Hour
  • 120 - Two Hours

  An inactive session application exists when an application has failed unexpectedly (i.e. a fatal error) or the user has closed the browser window instead of the application within the browser window.

  The cleanup of session applications is performed by the Meta - Clean Up Expired Session Applications (meta_ums_session_cleanup) timer.

  Note: The value of this field is used for any user for which the Application Inactivity Timeout rule is set to 0 - User Default.

• Configuration ID - this field is maintainable in creation mode only, when it appears in the key subview. The unique identifier of the configuration record.
  • There is only one configuration record with an identifier of 1.

• Created By - displays the name of the user who created the record you are viewing or maintaining. May not be overridden.

• Created On - displays the date on which the record that you are creating or maintaining was created. May not be overridden. May also represent the creation date of the records you are attempting to retrieve.

• Errors Email Format Name - the email format used when sending an email notification after an error has occurred in the system and is recorded in the log file. Validated against the email formats table.
  • The log file is sent to the messaging administrator as an attachment to the email message. If the log file is too large, only a part of the content is sent. The system makes use of the Watch Threshold in Minutes field to define the frequency at which email messages may be sent.

  • The email recipient and maximum size of the email attachment are defined via dedicated properties in the System Properties field in the environments table.

• Extra Attributes - a CLOB-type field used to store additional JSON information.

• User Inactivity Timeout - the session timeout value used to trigger the expiration of a session for which there has been no user interaction for a given period of time. When the selected value of inactivity is reached, the system automatically releases all locks within the session and forces its expiration.

  • An inactive session exists when the user closes the browser window instead of the application within the browser window or stops interacting with the system altogether.

  • When a session is forced into expiration, its Termination Action field is set to Expired Session Terminated, as session records are not deleted.
