Setting Optional Preferences

You can configure service entries in the c8-services.xml file with a number of optional settings.

Some of these preferences are only applicable to certain types of services, for example, databases, while others may be set for any service. To configure one of these optional preferences for your service, enter the preference, along with the appropriate value, anywhere within your service entry.

• Setting Maximum Call Execution Time
  The MaxCallExecutionTime preference defines the maximum amount of time that Sybase CEP Engine allows for the database or remote procedure to execute a call.
• Disabling the Call Abort Feature
  A description of the process for enabling the "DisableAbort" preference for drivers that cannot safely abort in-process requests when a Sybase CEP Engine project stops or times out.
• Setting the Time Zone Conversion Preference
  Describes how to set the "Timezone" preference, which you can use to convert time types from another application or program to the correct time zone of your database or RPC server before passing the values to Sybase CEP Engine.
• Enabling Tracing
  Describes the "EnableTracing" preference and its functionality.
• Ignoring Database or RPC Server Errors
  A description of the "IgnoreErrors" preference and its functionality.
• Setting Automatic Retry
  Set the MaxRetries parameter in the service definitions for "Database" or "RemoteService" to determine how many times Sybase CEP Engine should retry statement execution after experiencing errors.
• Caching Data from an External Database, RPC Server, or Public Window
  Sybase CEP Engine sometimes experiences delays when evaluating database subqueries and remote subqueries. To eliminate this delay, set caching preferences to enable Sybase CEP Server to cache values received from external databases and remote servers.
• Setting Concurrency Preferences
  Set concurrency properties for database, public window, and remote service entries.
• Database-Specific Service Preferences
  A description of the database and public window entry preferences and their functionality.
