The Application Settings page allows for configuration of several settings for the web.config file.
Notes:
|
This section contains database connection parameters and service broker password information for the Governance Portal. These settings are configured during installation but can be modified anytime from this section. Unless you are making specific changes to your database structure, you will not have to modify these settings.
Some of the fields are explained in the table below:
Field/Setting |
Description |
SQL Command Timeout |
Time in seconds ASP.Net will provide SQL Server to execute for regular transactions. |
SQL Command Timeout (Long) |
Time in seconds ASP.Net will provide SQL Server to execute for long running transactions. In the scenario where clients have a firewall/publishing server setup, the timeout for connection request should be larger than the default value. For example, the default timeout for this setting is 3600 seconds. This means that the network appliance used should have a connection timeout of more than 3600 seconds. If Clients can't have a larger timeout than this, then they can reduce the timeout of this property accordingly. This timeout is used for the PGP Spreadsheet Upload feature. Setting this timeout too low could adversely affect the spreadsheet upload functionality. |
Updating Reports Views Check Box |
If the database settings change (see above), you will need to select this check box to update the view names stored in the database to contain the updated server name and database name. This will update the reports and searches that were shipped with the application and any saved searches that have been defined. Note: This function will need to be performed during the initial setup of the Governance Portal. |
.
Service Broker Setup
Microsoft SQL Service Broker is a tool that caches data on your Governance Portal server to improve performance and ensure proper system functionality. The Service Broker Setup page enables the Governance Portal to run database scripts to resolve any known inconsistencies in the database that can cause the service broker to stop running.
If a server error occurs when the scripts are run, all users will be redirected to the Service Broker Setup screen upon accessing the Governance Portal application.
Note: The following instructions should be performed by the database system administrator (sysadmin).
The setup screen will indicate the SQL Service Broker failed to run, as shown above. Enter the SQL Administrator login and password and click Submit. The system will run scripts to create or update the necessary logins, users, and permissions for SQL Service Broker to be accessible by the application. If these scripts fail to execute, a SQL error message will display. When this occurs, it is the responsibility of the database system administrator to resolve the error and then perform the steps below to restart the Service Broker.
This section allows the administrator to change the Admin password for the Configuration Settings page. Add and confirm the new password in the fields shown below.
This section allows you to enter the Client ID and product license keys to access each area of the Governance Portal. The Client ID and product license keys are given to you by Protiviti upon purchase of the Governance Portal and will need to be added after initial installation. If you do not have the Client ID and license keys entered, no one will be able to view that section of the Governance Portal. Additional keys can be purchased and added at a later date.
This section houses the settings for the reports functions within the Governance Portal. These settings are configured on initial setup and should not need to be modified.
