You can configure various properties of CentraSite's internal database. The available properties are:
Property
Description
buffer pool size
This defines the size of the buffer pool that is used for storing intermediate results during normal processing.
maximum transaction duration
This defines the maximum time, in seconds, that a transaction is allowed to exist.

XML work threads
This defines the number of XML-processing threads that be active concurrently in the internal processing engine.
XML maximum sessions
