Appendix A: Application Parameters

Application Parameter (APPCTRL) is one that is part of general system configuration. Options on this table are set once and do not vary by year, department, transaction, or other factors. The table is very generic in its design so that it can host many different types of options with the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields.

Note: Any changes to records on this table should be followed by a restart of all servers used for CGI Advantage applications.

The Parameter Short Description is listed first followed by the Parameter Name in parentheses.

Parameter

Description

Enable auto increment precedence

(ENABLE_AUTO_INC_PREC_FL)

Enables the auto numbering for the Precedence field on the Security Roles tab of the UDOC and HRDOC transactions.

The default value is false. If set to true, the value in the Precedence field will be auto numbered by incrementing the previous maximum value by one.

Apply Workflow Component Level Security

(APPLY_WF_COMP_SEC)

Enables the Component level Organizational Security for Workflow actions:

Approve, Unapprove, Reject, Reject All, Bypass Approval, Recall, Recall from Workflow

Current Application URL

(CURR_APP_URL)

The full URL that is used to sign in to this application. This is used by multiple Workflow-related processes to generate hyperlinks in email notifications. When generating such hyperlinks, the system will use this URL and append various parameters that, when clicked, will navigate the user to a particular transaction or record.

Default Print Output Type

(DFLT_PRNT_OUTPUT_TYPE)

The default value that is displayed in the Print Output Type field on the Transaction Print page upon navigating to that page. The allowable values for this parameter are established on CVL_PRNT_RSRC_TYP in the PRNT_RSRC_TYP_CD field. The delivered value for this field is 3 (PDF).

Default View Forms

(DFLT_VIEW_FORMS)

Set the value to true if the View Forms check box on the Transaction Print page should be selected by default when the Print Output Type value is PDF.

Suppress Printer Output Type

(SUPPRESS_PRINTER_OUTPUT_TYPE)

This parameter will control the entry of the PRINTER option in the Print Output Type drop-down on the Transaction Print page. Set the value to true if your site does not want PRINTER as an option for the Print Output Type drop-down. By default, SUPPRESS_PRINTER_OUTPUT_TYPE is set to false.

Transaction Comments Print Order By Clause

(TRANS_PRINT_COMMENTS_ORDER)

This parameter indicates the order Comments that are printed on the transaction. The default order is by Transaction Version Number (DOC_VERS_NO). Use commas to separate multiple sort fields. Comments will be sorted by each sort field in descending order.

If the parameter does not exist or left blank, the default order by Transaction Version Number (DOC_VERS_NO) will be used.

Each sort field is verified to ensure it is a valid column on DOC_CMNT table. If a field is not valid, then it is ignored. If all sort fields are not valid, then the default order is by Transaction Version Number (DOC_VERS_NO).

Enable Transaction Component level org security check for Discard

(ENABLE_DOC_COMP_ORG_SEC_DISCARD)

Enables the Component level Organizational Security for the Discard action.

Enable Transaction Component level org security check for Edit

(ENABLE_DOC_COMP_ORG_SEC_EDIT)

Enables the Component level Organizational Security for the Edit action.

Enable Data Warehouse Archived Record Queue

(ENABLE_DW_ARCH_QUEUE)

Enables the Data Warehouse Archived Record Queue process used by selected table archiving batch jobs to log the table names and key values for records that are archived and deleted. Records that are archived may still be considered valid reportable, historical data in infoAdvantage; therefore, infoAdvantage uses this information to distinguish between records that have been deleted for purposes of archiving the data and records that are simply being deleted from the system as data that are no longer needed.

This parameter (and logging process) is not used by jobs that purge temporary data and/or other data that are not archived. It is also not used by some archiving jobs that archive tables containing no reportable information (such as Job Manager Output Archiving).

There are also some archiving processes for which infoAdvantage uses other means of tracking archived data. For example, the CGI Advantage Financial Journal/Ledger Archiving process does not log records for infoAdvantage because infoAdvantage consults the Last Archive Year values on Journal/Ledger Control Detail (JLCTRL) rather than relying on this Data Warehouse Archived Record Queue for information about archived journal/ledger records.

IDP Initiated SSO URL

(IDP_SSO_URL)

The value for this parameter should be set to the URL of the Identity Provider SSO for SAML enabled regions. This URL will be the prefix along with the current application URL for SAML Authentication for Workflow Email Transaction Hyperlinks.

Perform Virus Scan

(PERFORM_VIRUS_SCAN)

This parameter enables or disables the virus scanning of uploaded files value to be true/false.

TimeOut Of Virus Scan

(TIME_OUT_OF_VIRUS_SCAN)

The time interval after which the program should check for the results of the antivirus software scan. You can define a time value down to milliseconds.

WaitTime For Virus Scan

(WAIT_TIME_FOR_VIRUS_SCAN)

This timeout value in milliseconds being used to prevent a response write timeout of the application server or session timeout of the user, while waiting on the virus scan results. This value has to be greater than the TimeIntervalForResults but less than the response write timeout of the server session for the user.

ENABLE UPDATE BO USER

(UPDATE_BO_USER)

When set to true, the changes to the user name and email address are synched to infoAdvantage, when the Advantage/infoAdvantage Security System Assurance batch job is run in Synchronization mode. When set to false, changes to the user name and email address are not be pushed to infoAdvantage. The Administration application must be bounced when the value of this parameter is changed. The default value is false.
