Select the default locale to use for the PhixFlow system.
You can set a different locale for users.
Note |
---|
The list of locales available in PhixFlow is a standard list. The presence of a specific locale does not indicate that translations are available for the locale. The locale sets the default date style. It can also change the language of an application if it has a translation table; see Translating an Application Interface. |
- "T" - By default, all users will be allowed access to the stream data.
- "F" - By default, no users will be allowed access to the stream data unless they are a member of a user group which is explicitly added to the stream.
- "T" - By default, all users will be allowed access to export functionality.
- "F" - By default, no users will be allowed access to export functionality unless they are specifically configured against the datasource.

Enter the character set PhixFlow assumes when reading from or writing to any plain text or CSV file.
Note |
---|
The character set must be supported by the Java virtual machine. Multi-byte settings such as UTF8 (e.g. for Japanese etc.) are supported. |
Enter 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.
- On SQL Server, a Data Storage Group is equivalent to a Filegroup.
- MariaDB does not support data storage groups.
- If you use the unsupported MySQL, a data storage group is equivalent to a Tablespace.
If no data storage group is specified, the database user's default setting will be used.
Select the default line separator style that will be used by file exporters where no particular line separator has been specified. If you do not specify a default line separator here, PhixFlow will use the default of the operating system.
Where a specific file exporter needs to use a different line separator, use the File Exporter → Line Separator Style property.
- Database: store the data in a regular table within the PhixFlow database. This is the usual storage type for PhixFlow.
- Database (Partitioned): store the data in a partitioned table within the PhixFlow database .
This option is available if partitioning is available within your database installation.
This option provides improved performance for rollback and archiving of very large stream sets. - In Memory: the data for the stream will not be written to the database.
This is useful when working with large data sets. For example, when you want to aggregate large amounts of unsorted data, which is then be written to a stored stream.
Only set this option if you have database users who want to generate reports directly from the PhixFlow database.
Note |
---|
This option refers to a role in the PhixFlow database not in the PhixFlow application. |
Select this option as part of Configuring Access to Database Views. PhixFlow creates a database role that can access views of stream data. This role can only see the views, not any other PhixFlow data.
The licence key for your PhixFlow Installation, provided by PhixFlow Customer Support. If PhixFlow is not configured with a valid key, analysis tasks will not run and an error message will be displayed in the log file.
A licence key issued with an expiry date. If the licence has expired, an additional field will show the expiry date.
After a licence has expired PhixFlow will generate warning messages in the analysis logs for 28 days beyond the expiry date. After this time analysis tasks will cease to run.
Delete Log Messages after Days
For information about the system task, see Task Plans.
tickedticked archive log messages to a file in the Archive Directory before they are deleted. You cannot archive managed files before deleting them, see Task Plans.Delete Temp Tables temporary created by publishing temporary temporary Orphaned Stream Table Enter the orphaned stream tables . These tables contain the data for streams that have been deleted. When a System Task runs it records all orphaned stream tables and will delete the tables after this number of days.If no value is specified, PhixFlow defaults to retaining orphaned stream tables for 30 days see Password Policy.Before performing a 'Reset Configuration' the administrator must tick this check box; see Configuration Reset.
