GUI
Environment
The GUI environment variables in the following table can be
modified, as required, to define specific GUI parameters. These
variables should not be modified unless directed by ATAC
personnel. VolServ must be cycled for the changes to become
effective.
ARCDISP_IPC_WAIT_
TIME
1 The amount of time in seconds between
each retry that the archive dispatcher waits
before trying to connect to the VolServ
process. Increase this value if syslog
message V360 with an error of 9 is
received.
Variable Name Default Description
Variable Name Default Description
VS_DEF_PRIORITY 15 The request priority for operations that do
not have a variable priority scale for setting
the priority.
VS_MAX_LIST_LENGTH 1000 The maximum number of items that can
populate the media list for a media filter. If
more than this number are selected, the
filter search fails and asks for a more
narrow description of the media IDs
required.
VS_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH 20000 The maximum number of characters
allowed to fill a status window. Once
reached, the status messages are
removed in FIFO order. If this number is
too large, system performance is
degraded.
VSWIN_IPC_RETRIES 3 The number of times vsadm attempts to
connect over IPC.
VSWIN_IPC_RETRY_TIME 180 Number of seconds vsadm attempts to
reconnect to processes over IPC after a
