Custom Settings for the Vital Signs Listener
The vsigns_srv.ini file is used to configure the listener.
In version 1.7 of Vital Signs, this file was moved from the vitalsigns/CUNAME/data/config directory to vitalsigns/CUNAME/bin directory.
| INI Key Field (Note) | Default Value | Purpose |
| VS_PATH | "c:\vitalsigns\CUNAME" | Path to the Vital Signs directory. |
| VS_PORT | 30601 | Local port used by the Vital Signs listener. |
| VS_LOG | "vsigns_srv.log" | Name of the Vital Signs listener log file. |
| QV_PATH | "c:\program files\qlikview" | Path to the Qlik executable file. |
| QV_NAME | "qv.exe" | Name of the Qlik executable file. |
| CLEANUP (1) | "archive" | ASD cleanup mode. Must be archive or delete. |
| ASD_ARCHIVE_DAYS | 30 | The number of days to keep ASD files in the archive directory. Only meaningful if files before deleting them. |
| LOG_ARCHIVE_DAYS | 20 | The number of days to keep log files before deleting them. |
| QV_UNICODE | UTF-8 | For Qlik versions 11.2 and later use UTF-16LE. |
| QVD_DELETE_OK (2) | N | Set this to "Y" to automatically delete old QVD files. |
| HIST_QVD_NDAYS | 750 | Number of days of raw HIST QVDs to keep. Minimum is 400 days (roughly 13 months). |
| MBR_QVD_NDAYS | 750 | Number of days of raw MBRSHLN QVDs to keep. Minimum is 400 days (roughly 13 months). |
| MBR_QVD_NMTHENDS (2) | 60 | Number of monthend days of raw MBRSHLN QVDs to keep. Minimum is 25 monthend days. |
| VS_SNAP_PATH (3) | "C:\vitalsigns\CUNAME\snapshots" | Path to a custom snapshots directory. |
- When CLEANUP=archive, ASD files will be transferred to an archive directory and then deleted after ASD_ARCHIVE_DAYS number of days. When CLEANUP=delete, the files will be deleted immediately. The archive mode is recommended.
- When QVD_DELETE_OK=Y, old QVD files will be deleted. The age of the old files is determined by the settings for HIST_QVD_NDAYS, MBR_QVD_NDAYS and MBR_QVD_NMTHENDS.
- Presentation documents are stored in the snapshots when they are enabled in the host vsreload.ini file.
Sample vsigns_srv.ini file:
VS_PATH "E:\vitalsigns\MYCU" VS_PORT 30601 VS_LOG "vsigns_srv.log" QV_PATH "C:\Program Files\qlikview" QV_NAME "qv.exe" CLEANUP "archive" LOG_ARCHIVE_DAYS 20 ASD_ARCHIVE_DAYS 30 QV_UNICODE UTF-16LE QVD_DELETE_OK Y HIST_QVD_NDAYS 800 MBR_QVD_NDAYS 1000 MBR_QVD_NMTHENDS 60 VS_SNAP_PATH "G:\vitalsigns\snapshots"
