Use the advanced configuration section of the server administration console to customize server features.

Request processing

Settings

Description

Force client build numberRelated 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 closesRelated 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 timeoutRelated 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 complianceRelated 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 pathsRelated 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.

Settings

Description

Min threadsRelated to the 
MinWorkerThreads
parameter in the 
server.conf
file.
Max threadsRelated 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 buffersRelated 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 buffersRelated 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 sizeRelated 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.
