System 600 APOGEE Database Dynamos for Intellution's 32-Bit FIX Owner's Manual
7-8 Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.
Registry Entries
A number of parameters used to configure the operation of System 600 APOGEE Database
Dynamos are stored in the Windows NT registry. Some entries under
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Landis&Staefa\Intellution\PlugIn\ProxyNetwork may require
adjustment for a particular site, including DbSizeInMbytes, MessagePoolSize,
OnlineWaitInSec, and ReloadWaitInSec.
DbSizeInMbytes
This entry determines the size of the Proxy Database shared memory file and is set during
installation according to the number of System 600 APOGEE points that will be used by FIX
applications. Each point requires approximately 1 KB of storage in this file. The value of this
key is specified in MB which corresponds to multiples of 1000 System 600 APOGEE points.
MessagePoolSize
This entry determines the size of the event message pool that is shared by the System 600
APOGEE Database Dynamos and the MsgManager service. The value of this key is normally
set to the number of System 600 APOGEE blocks that will be used by FIX applications.
DbSizeInMbytes and may require alteration if the size of the database has increased from the
number of points estimated during installation.
OnlineWaitInSec
This entry determines how quickly a System 600 APOGEE block will attempt to reestablish
COV registration with the corresponding System 600 APOGEE network point whenever the
registration has failed. The default value of this key (30) is set to avoid excessive System 600
APOGEE network traffic during field panel failures.
ReloadWaitInSec
This entry determines how quickly a System 600 APOGEE block will attempt to reestablish
COV registration with the corresponding System 600 APOGEE network point when a FIX
database is first loaded or reloaded. The value of this key is typically set to the time required
to establish COV registration for the total number of System 600 APOGEE blocks in the FIX
database. The default is set to 300 seconds.
