System parameters are global parameters for the installation. These parameters defines the behavior in a wide range of areas like Background jobs, Reporting and User Assistance. The most important system parameters that are supposed to be set when configuring a new installed system before taking into operation are described here.
All system parameters:

|
Breakpoint XML size for when to format Report Designer reports in memory
or using disk storage (kB) |
Reporting |
This parameter controls the Disc Cache. With it, you can make sure that small reports are handled in memory without being swapped out to disc. Disc Cache will slow the PDF generation down by 30%. However large reports needs to be swapped out to disc in order to save memory. The parameter sets the limit of XML data size (Kb). If the data is larger than this limit, the Formatting Processor (FOP) will use Disc Cache. A good setting for this is 100kB. This is also the default. |
|

formatter spooling ON/OFF |
Reporting |
This Parameter indicates whether the Report Formatter will process and print PDFs or not. The default setting would be OFF.
