Use this site system as a software metering server
Assigns the software metering server role to this site system.
By default, this option is disabled.
Note NetWare servers cannot be software
metering servers.
Server configuration
Specify the software metering database location and the
database server time zone. If the site system is not used as a
software metering server, the options in this group box are
unavailable.
Database location
The path to the software metering database on the server. By
default, the path is C:\swmtr. The maximum path length is 254
characters.
Caution After
you set the database location for a site system, you cannot modify
it.
Time zone
The time zone of the selected server location. By default, the
time zone is that of the local server.
Service configuration
Specify the service account and password. If the site system is
not used as a software metering server, the options in this group
box are unavailable.
Service account
The account and password used by the services running on the
software metering server. Click Set to launch the Windows NT Account dialog
box.
Connection retries
The number of times you want the Software Metering service to
retry the connection to the database. By default, the value is 100
attempts. Valid entries range from 1 through 1,000 attempts.
Connection retry delay (milliseconds)
The time (measured in milliseconds) before you want the server
to attempt to retry the database connection. By default, the delay
value is 150 milliseconds. Valid entries range from 1 through 3,000
milliseconds.
Note If the service cannot connect to
the database in the specified number of retries, it generates an
error. Increasing the retry count and the retry delay might solve
this problem.
Client connection points (threads)
The number of threads allocated to database connections. When
requests exceed this number, requests are queued and processed as
soon as idle threads become available. By default, the value is 8
threads. Valid entries range from 1 through 100 threads.
