Vsreload.ini

Overview

The vsreload.ini file contains custom groups that orchestrate the order of execution of Vital Signs on the Windows Host for different applications. This file also provides settings for the retention of application snapshots.

Sections

Three types of sections are used

1. defaults (VitalSigns_Defaults)

   -- Contains the default values to be used for unspecified settings:
   timeout - Specifies the maximum timeout in minutes to wait for changes to the log file.
             If the size of the log file does not change for 'timeout' minutes, execution terminates.
           - Default: timeout=30
   enabled - Specifies whether or not tasks are enabled by default
           - Default: enabled=yes
   reports - Specifies whether or not to attempt to generate printed reports.
             This option only applies to tasks with a stage=presentationQVW
           - Default: reports=no
   snapshots     - Specifies the number of individual copies to be saved in the Snapshots directory.
                 - Default: snapshots=0
   mth_snapshots - Specifies the number of month-end copies to be saved in the Snapshots directory.
                   If both snapshots and mth_snapshots equal zero, no snapshots are saved.
                 - Default: mth_snapshots=0

2. Groups

   -- contains task1..tasknn settings defining a group of tasks to be run together
   -- may contain a cust_group=section to append client tasks (for easy preservation after updating)

3. Tasks

   -- contains at minimum a stage setting defining the type of task and
      a file setting containing the relative path to the underlying qvw file
   -- may also contain one or more of:
      timeout, enabled, reports, snapshots, mth_snapshots (described above)
      These settings only apply to the current task and over-ride the global defaults.
