| Field | Description |
|---|
| Polling Interval (sec)
|
Enter the interval at which the databases will be polled for alerts and schedule jobs. Deltek recommends at least a 15 second polling interval.
|
| Max concurrent jobs
|
Enter the maximum number of jobs that will run concurrently on any queue on the process server, regardless of how many jobs are actually in a queue. Enter zero for no limit. System administrators can override this value for a particular queue from the Servers tab of the System Settings form within the Vision user interface ().
If you change the maximum allowable number of concurrent jobs from this field, you must restart your process servers for the change to take effect.
|
| Copy Databases.enc to
|
In a multi-tier deployment of Deltek Vision (for example, multiple Web/application servers and/or dedicated process servers), it is necessary to maintain synchronization of the various copies of databases.enc. This field allows you to enter the UNC path (or mapped network drive) to your various servers that hold copies of databases.enc, so that changes can be synchronized.
After changes to the databases.enc file are made, for each server you must enter the path to the location of that server's databases.enc file and then click
Save. Weblink will then copy the file to the specified server. A copy of databases.enc must already exist in the location for the copy to be successful.
|
| Store Session State in Memory
|
Select this option to store the session state in the computer's temporary memory.
If you switch the session state storage methods from one to the other, the WebLink utility must force a restart of ASP.NET, and therefore cause all current users to lose their session state. The WebLink utility will prompt you with a warning indicating this when you switch from one method to the other. Click
No when prompted to retain the current method. Click
Yes when prompted to change the method and restart ASP.NET.
|
| Store Session State in SQL Server
|
Select this option to store the session state in the database. When
Store Session State in SQL Server is selected, the WebLink utility enables the Database Setup fields. You must enter database connection information for the database where the session state is to be stored in these fields.
If you switch the session state storage methods from one to the other, the WebLink utility must force a restart of ASP.NET, and therefore cause all current users to lose their session state. The WebLink utility will prompt you with a warning indicating this when you switch from one method to the other. Click
No when prompted to retain the current method. Click
Yes when prompted to change the method and restart ASP.NET.
|
| Send errors to Deltek automatically
|
Select this option if you want Vision to automatically send error messages to Deltek, so that Deltek has a record of those errors.
|
| Private SaaS
|
This option is only used by Deltek CloudOps. This option should not be selected for on-premise installations of Deltek Vision.
|
| Default Language
|
This field is for future use.
The
Default Language list displays all the available languages in Vision. These values are in the language of the user currently logged into Weblink. For example, when logged into the English version, it might contain English, Spanish, and German.
The
Default Language is used to do the following:
- Control the language used for single language databases where Multilingual is not enabled in Module Activation.
- Display the Login and Weblink Login screens if the user’s culture is not recognized and that Windows user has never logged into Vision. (If that Windows user has logged into Vision previously, then the last language used is remembered.)
- Display the Login and Weblink Login screens if the user’s culture is recognized, but that language is not enabled in any databases and that Windows user has never logged into Vision. (If that Windows user has logged into Vision previously, then the last language used is remembered.)
The
Enable Languages drop-down menu allows you to print the list of languages or export it to Excel.
|
| SQL Server
|
Enter the name of the database server as entered in Microsoft SQL Server, in which to store the session state.
|
| Database Name
|
Enter the name of the Vision database that you will use to store the session state.
|
| Windows Authentication
|
Specifies that a Windows User account will be used to connect to your SQL Server database. This user account must have been created as a valid user account in SQL Server and must have the appropriate rights to the Vision database.
This account also needs to be configured as the Identity of the IIS Application Pool. The default Application Pool is DeltekVisionAppPool and the default identity is a local administrator account, ’r;DeltekVision’ which is created by the Vision installation.
If this box is selected, then the
SQL Username and
SQL Password fields are disabled and the Windows Username and Windows password will be used instead.
If this box is not selected, then you must specify a database username and password to use.
|
| SQL Username
|
Enter the username of the Microsoft SQL Server administrative who will manage this database. By default, this is DeltekVision, but it can be any SQL username that you want to specify. Deltek does not recommend using the sa account.
|
| SQL Password
|
Enter the corresponding password for this user account.
|
| Days to Retain Sessions
|
Enter the number of days to save old sessions before deleting.
|
| Advanced Server Connection Settings
|
The options under
Advanced Server Connection Settings can enhance application performance over wide area network (WAN) connections, especially those with high latency (100 ms or higher). By default, these options are not selected.
|
| Share a single HTTP connection for all HTTP requests and establish authentication persistence when using Windows Integrated Authentication (supports Kerberos only)
|
Select this option if you use Windows Integrated Authentication with Vision and meet the requirements described in the next paragraph.
Kerberos is the default authentication package for Windows Integrated Authentication when used with Windows Server 2003 and later domains. Kerberos does not traverse firewalls, so it can only be used on a private network or virtual private network (VPN) on which users can communicate with the Key Distribution Center (KDC) on the domain controller.
|
| Share a single HTTP connection for all HTTP requests when using Windows Integrated Authentication (supports Kerberos and NTLM)
|
Select this option to support both Kerberos and NTLM authentication.
If some users will access the Web server over the Internet, they cannot be authenticated with Kerberos. For these users, the authentication package uses NTLM (NT Challenge/Response).
To ensure authentication persistence for users on the private network using Kerberos, you must modify some server settings.
- If you use IIS 6.0 (Windows Server 2003), create a new registry setting as discussed in the following Microsoft support article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917557 .
- If you use IIS 7.0 (Windows Server 2008), modify settings in the ApplicationHost.config file as discussed in the following Microsoft support article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954873 .
The settings discussed in these Microsoft support articles must be implemented on all Web/application servers.
