other messages related to the creation of PDFs/images by PlanetPress Image are sent. Separate multiple
email addresses with semi-colons (;).

document selected to be used in PlanetPress Image cannot be resolved.
Delete log after: Enter the number of days to wait before deleting the log of the generated PlanetPress Image
output. Each log file covers a single 24-hour period and is kept in the Log folder, which is located in the
PlanetPress Suite installation folder. This log may be on the local computer running PlanetPress Watch/Server
or on another computer on your network.

Watch/Server Configuration program).

Connection time-out: Enter the time, in seconds, that the connection to the database is maintained while no
action is taking place before the connection is severed.

or Oracle database. Clear to enter the name of the database in the box that appears.
Use Windows NT Integrated security: Select to use your Windows user name and password to log onto the
SQL database.

the SQL database (refer to the “Using PlanetPress Search with an SQL Server Database” section of the
PlanetPress Search User Guide).
Password: Enter the password required to access the database.
