Home Menu > Vigilens

The parameters entered at this level are common to all the machines on which the Vigilens application is installed (including Vigilens Web). It is stored in the “Vigilens.EVIDENS-Parameter” file located in the root of the shared directory.

• Automatic refresh of the query tree : Allows you to delete/enable the automatic update of the list of queries (user and shared) displayed in the Vigilens Designer application. If the update is activated, it is possible to specify the refresh frequency.
• Automatic update for shared datasources: If this option is activated, all shared data sources are systematically re-imported when the Vigilens Designer application is launched.
  NB: Except in special cases, it is preferable not to activate this option.
• Check physical printer margins before printing: During a “Print” output, displays a warning message if some elements to be displayed are located outside the printable area.
• Open each MS-Excel file in a new window : During a “Excel File” output, displays the generated file in a new Excel instance rather than using an existing instance (which can be a problem if the existing instance is in use).

Smtp server setting that will be used for “Send mail” outputs as well as the sender appearing in the mail.
NB: This default setting can be redefined at the level of each group, each user and even in each query (at the level of the output setting).

Allows you to set the default formatting for each type of data. This setting can be redefined at the level of each group, each user and each field of each query.

• Maximum buffer size allocated to string fields: Maximum number of characters that can be displayed for a text field. Characters beyond this number are truncated.
  NB: The higher this value, the higher the response time for data extraction may be.
• Maximum memory size for attachment (JDE datasource only): This option is valid only for JDE data sources. It defines to the maximum memory size (in bytes) used to display “Text” type appendices.
  Nb: If this value is too small for the display of a given appendice, the minimum value required is displayed instead of the text of the appendix.

Activating statistics allows you to define a database in which Vigilens will record information about connections and queries runs.

Once the database is defined, Vigilens connects to it and creates two tables (VIGILENS_CONNECT and VIGILENS_EXEC). If everything went well, the status becomes “OK” and it is then possible to choose if you want to stay connected or not and which elements you want to log (connections and/or query run).

The configuration of the database is similar to that of a database used to make queries (see Setup menu > Application).

In this screen, entering the Vigilens Web URL allows you to obtain complete URLs via the menu Command line.
