File - General settings

How do I set up my network edition?

These settings can be obtained from your database administrator or the individual setting up the database network server.

Data operation timeout
The time taken to complete requests to the database server depends largely on the amount of data requested, the type of operation being performed and the network/server performance. The timeout value is the number of seconds that database requests need to complete in before the patrol management system gives up. This setting may need to be adjusted if any timeout errors are encountered.

Server Name
The name and address of the database network server that the Patrol Management System accesses the shared data from.

The server name has the form servername@ip_address, where server name is the name of the database network server and ip_address is the IP address of the computer which runs the database network server.

If there is only 1 database network server on the server machine, then only the server address is required. E.g. 192.168.0.1

If there are more than 1 database network servers on the server machine, then the name of the database network server and IP address are required. eg. MyServer@192.168.0.1

Alias
The name of the database that Patrol Management System accesses. The database network server can serve multiple databases, and this setting tells the database network server which of these databases to access.

Port
The port on which to connect to the database network server. Default is 16000.
