Overview

 

The ST_CONFIG System Table, accessible only to EQuIS administrators, stores configuration settings for the EQuIS application—similar to settings previously found in .config files—and contains the following columns (fields):

CONFIG_SECTION – Defines the section to which this item belongs; similar to a <configuration> section in an XML .config file.

CONFIG_KEY – Defines the key of the value within a section (i.e., what this item is, or a grouping of such).

OBJECT_TYPE – Defines the type of the object within the CONFIG_KEY field.

OBJECT_VALUE – Defines the object value for this item.

STRING_VALUE – Specifies the configuration value of this item (i.e., this is the value for the configuration setting).

 

The ST_CONFIG system table can be used to customize database-wide behavior such as in EDP, reports, and interactions with Excel.

 

After adding or changing configuration entries, restart EQuIS Professional.

 

EarthSoft.Common

 

Improve performance and reduce processing time across EQuIS products. CONFIG_KEYS in this section usually apply to all formats.

EarthSoft.Common.Data.Connection.BatchInsert – Optional setting to improve data loading via optimal, progressive batch sizing.

EarthSoft.Common.Data.Connection.SkipBulkCopy – Setting to decrease the time for inserting data into the database; can cause timeout errors when committing large datasets.

EarthSoft.EDP.EddCustomHandler.ShowUpdateMode – Limits the commit type in EDP Professional for a given format, optionally by user.

EarthSoft.EDP.EddMapping.RowDifferenceError – Displays an error message when the target row already exists during the Create Package step, optionally by user.

EarthSoft.EDP.Pro.RegisterFile – Registers EDD files committed via Professional EDP to the ST_FILE_REGISTRATION table, optionally by format.

EarthSoft.EDP.CommentIndicator – Sets a single character as a comment indicator for rows in an EDD. The default is ‘#.’
