| System Language | The system language code specifies which language should be used for login screens and for all non interactive messages. |
| Default Character Set | The character set PhixFlow assumes when reading from or writing to any plain text or CSV file. Please note that this must be a character set supported by the Java virtual machine and that multi byte settings such as UTF8 (e.g. for Japanese etc.) are supported. |
| Line Separator Style | The user can specify a default line separator style that will be used by File Exporters where no particular line separator has been specified. If the user does not specify a default style here then the default will revert to be the default of the operating system on which the PhixFlow server is running. In addition you can specify the line separator on each file exporter where a particular exporter needs to use a style other than the system default. |
| Data Storage Group | The Data Storage Group to use when creating tables to store Stream data. This field is interpreted differently depending on the underlying database: On Oracle, a Data Storage Group is equivalent to a Tablespace.

After this time analysis tasks will cease to run. |
