Vsigns srv.ini

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.

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 enable deleting old QVD files with JVSCLEANUP.
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).

1. 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.
2. When QVD_DELETE_OK=Y, old QVD files can be deleted by the JVSCLEANUP job. The age of the old files is determined by the settings for HIST_QVD_NDAYS, MBR_QVD_NDAYS and MBR_QVD_NMTHENDS.
3. Presentation documents are stored in the snapshots when they are enabled in the host vsreload.ini file.
