Configurable tuning parameters

Use the Tuning Parameters tool to view and edit settings for all connected Data Archive servers. To open the Tuning Parameters tool, select Operation > Tuning Parameters.

By default, each tab in the Tuning Parameters tool provides a list of the most commonly used server settings for each category. When you select a tuning parameter, a description of its function is shown in the lower pane.

Note: When you select a tuning parameter, a description of what it controls is shown in the field below.

Settings are displayed on these tabs:

• General: Command line tool and server application settings.

• Archive: PI Archive Subsystem settings.

• Backup: PI Backup Subsystem settings.

• Base: PI Base Subsystem settings, including module database parameters.

• Net Manager: PI Network Manager settings.

• Snapshot: PI Snapshot Subsystem settings, including event queue settings for buffered values that are not yet archived.

• Update Manager: Update Manager settings that affect programs that sign up for point or data updates, including most interfaces.

• Security: Security settings that affect authentication, PI identities, and mappings.

If the tuning parameter that you want is not displayed in these lists, then you can add it.
