Use the advanced configuration section of the server administration console to customize server features.
Request processing
Settings
Description
Force client build number
Related to the
ForceBuildNumberMatch
parameter in the
server.conf
file. Use this parameter to mandate all clients upgrade to the same build number as the server, or set a minimum build number instead.
Abort request if socket closes
Related to the
AbortRequestIfSocketCloses
parameter in the
server.conf
file. When a client closes the connection before the server finishes processing, the server stops the request thread to avoid long-running canceled requests. Enabled by default on Windows, disabled on Linux due to instability issues.
Transaction timeout
Related to the
TransactionTimeout
parameter in the server.conf file. This sets the time in seconds before a long running transaction is automatically canceled by the server.
Global security settings
Settings
Description
FIPS compliance
Related to the
FIPSCompliant
parameter in the server.conf file. Enable this parameter to mandate the use of FIPS compliant algorithms only. This setting requires UVCS clients to enable FIPS in their
client.conf
file - otherwise they can't connect to this server.
Enforce secured paths
Related to the
SecuredPaths
parameter in the
server.conf
file. Enable this setting to restrict users from accessing file revisions by item ID (with
cm cat
) if they don't have access. Suitable for high-security environments.
Worker thread pool
This is the thread pool that attends client requests. Each thread is reused for better performance.
Important
Be aware of potential issues if you modify the thread pool value. For example, if you allocate more threads than your computer can handle (dependent on the number of cores), you can cause a decrease in performance.
Settings
Description
Min threads
Related to the
MinWorkerThreads
parameter in the
server.conf
file.
Max threads
Related to the
MaxWorkerThreads
parameter in the
server.conf
file. By default, the max number of threads matches the number of cores of the server.
Buffer pools
Buffer pools reuse pre-allocated buffers to help reduce memory allocations. If you reduce allocations, you can significantly improve performance under heavy load.
Settings
Description
Number of Tree buffers
Related to the
TreeBufferPoolCount
parameter in the
server.conf
file. Use this parameter to serialize directory trees. Under heavy load, this value should match the number of worker threads to avoid contention.
Number of Blob buffers
Related to the
BlobBufferPoolCount
parameter in the
server.conf
file. Configure this value to read and write file data to the storage. These buffers reduce the need for allocating 4 MB blocks on every data transfer.
Tree buffers size
Related to the
TreeBufferSizeInMB
parameter in the
server.conf
file. Set this size (in MB) to serialize directory trees. With large trees (over 50k files and directories), if you increase this number, it helps reduce memory allocations.
Trigger variables
In the trigger variables section, you can add the custom global variables that triggers use.
For more information on how triggers work and how to define them, refer to Triggers.
