258 Reserved omaconfig.xml Options R Appendix 4
to include them by SAS Technical Support. There are two categories of reserved options:
SAS Metadata Server options and debugging options. The SAS Metadata Server
options control features that are considered important for the optimized operation of the
metadata server, but can be turned off if necessary. Because they are turned on by
default, the only reason to include them in the omaconfig.xml file is to turn them off.
The debugging options can increase the processing overhead of the metadata server;
therefore, they are not recommended for normal use.
The reserved server options are specified along with other server options in the
XML element in the omaconfig.xml file. The debugging options are specified in
an XML element in the omaconfig.xml file.
Reserved Options
BLOCK_ADDS="0 | 1"
optimizes server processing for adding metadata. A value of 1 (the default)
optimizes processing by writing all objects that need to be added to a repository
container data set in a single engine call. A value of 0 causes each object to be
added by a separate engine call.
LOCK_DEPENDENT_REPOS="0 | 1"
determines the repository locking algorithm used by the server. A value of 0 (the
default) specifies to lock only repositories that are explicitly referenced in update
and delete requests. A value of 1 specifies to lock all repositories that have a
hierarchical relationship with the repository on which update and delete requests
are issued. Locking all repositories in a repository hierarchy can have a negative
effect on server performance.
PHYSICAL_DELETE="0 | 1"
(deprecated) determines the disposition of deleted metadata records in a
repository. A value of 0 specifies that deleted records are logically deleted from a
repository. A value of 1 specifies that deleted records are physically deleted from a
repository. The default is to physically delete metadata records.
WORKUNIT_INDEXES="0 | 1"
optimizes server processing for update requests by using indexes in workunits. A
value of 0 causes internal searches to apply WHERE clauses to each object in the
workunit list. A value of 1 (the default) causes internal searches of workunit
updates to use indexes, which significantly speeds up the search.
Debugging Options
DEBUG
supports the debugging macros documented in the SAS Internal Programmer’s
Guide for SAS Scalable Architecture applications.
GENERIC="0 | 1"
supports the $GENERIC system option for SAS Scalable Architecture applications.
A value of 1 turns the option on. A value of 0 (the default) turns the option off.
