Controls the Measure calculator. The table below lists the descriptions of a selection of the most important keys of the file.
Key |
Meaning |
---|---|
MAX_STEP_COUNT |
Maximum number of iteration steps in the chart display. |
MAX_TIME_ |
Maximum number of iteration steps in the Time dimension. |
MAX_DATASET_ |
If no value can be determined for measures of the NUM_KEYINDICATOR and FREQ_KEYINDICATOR retriever type, the result set of the measure query is stated as 0. Result sets up to the size specified here are taken into account. |
USE_KI_CACHE |
true activates the buffer of the precalculated favorites. |
AUTO_FILL_CACHE |
true triggers automatic filling of the cache after deletion (only for USE_KI_CACHE=true). |
FILL_CACHE_ |
Delay in milliseconds before precalculation of favorites starts after finishing a PPM data import. |
KI_LRU_ |
Number of queries saved in the main memory based LRU (least recently used) measure cache. Recommended value: 50. The value 0 disables this option. |
EPK_LRU_ |
Number of EPC queries saved in the main memory based LRU EPC cache. Recommended value: 50. The value 0 disables this option. |
DEFAULT_ |
Predefined threshold value (in percent) for displaying analysis results in the Process Mining Wizard, above which unfavorable deviations from the measure value or conspicuous variation limits of dimension values are to be displayed. Default value: 10.0% |
DEFAULT_ |
Specified threshold value (in percent) in terms of the relevance of dimension values for the display of analysis results in the Process Mining Wizard, above which dimension values are to be displayed. |
DEFAULT_ |
Maximum number of result lines per process type in the Process Mining Wizard. |
DEFAULT_DIMENSION_LEVEL_DELIMITER_IN_URL |
Separator between dimension levels |
ORGUNITS_MAX_STRING_LENGTH |
Maximum length of the name of an organizational unit (default value: 100); is used in the Administration component of organizational units. |
FAVORITE_CACHE_LOGFILE |
Name of the log file for favorites calculation; empty indicates that the log is deactivated (default). |
FAVORITE_CACHE_LOGFILE_THRESHOLD |
Minimum execution time (in seconds) that a log causes (default: 0, all calculations are logged). If FAVORITE_CACHE_LOGFILE is not specified, this value is ignored. |
FAVORITE_CACHE_LOGFILE_PARAMSET_THRESHOLD |
Minimum execution time (in seconds) that causes additional logging of the underlying paramset (default: -1, no additional logging). If FAVORITE_CACHE_LOGFILE is not specified, this value is ignored. |
FAVORITE_CACHE_LOGFILE_LOG_CALCULATION_START |
Value TRUE or FALSE. With TRUE, a log entry is written every time a favorites thread starts a new calculation. |
RETRIEVER_MAX_VARIANTS |
Maximum number of variants returned to the PPM UI. The value is displayed in the Variants bar. If the value is exceeded, all further variants are added to the Others entry in the Variants bar. Default value: 5000 |
RETRIEVER_MAX_VARIANTS_QUERY_SIZE |
Maximum number of queried variants. The retriever stops and delivers an exception, if the value is exceeded. If the value is increased, the temporary memory consumption (New Generation) increases with the corresponding queries. Default value: 50000 |
Limiting the number of steps in query results
You can specify the limit on the number of steps in query results.
You can extend the maximum number of iteration steps by specifying the value of the RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS parameter in the AnalysisServer_settings file. To continue executing queries if the limit is reached, you can specify the value of the RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_EXTENDED parameter as the new limit. If you increase this value, the temporary memory consumption (New Generation) for corresponding queries increases.
The limit for maximum number of iteration steps.
Each paramset of PPM, MashZone NextGen etc. is checked by the PPM server if the parameter maxsteps is set in the paramset and is greater than the value of RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_LIMIT. If the value of the maxsteps parameter is greater than the value of RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_LIMIT, the maxteps parameter is set to RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_LIMIT. Once the value of RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_LIMIT is reached during a query,
the PPM server terminates the query.
Note that the RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_LIMIT parameter does not affect the queries of runppmcompress, runppmdelete, or runppmimport -keyindicator new.
The value of RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_LIMIT indicates the absolute limit. For example, if the value of RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_LIMIT is less than RETRIEVER_MAX_VARIANTS_QUERY_SIZE, RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_LIMIT is still the absolute limit. The same applies to the values of RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS_EXTENDED and RETRIEVER_MAX_ITERATION_STEPS.
