ADD_NEW_USERS_FROM_PROJECT

If this parameter is set to "N", you can add new ALM users from the Site Administrator (Site Users tab) only. If this parameter is set to "Y" (the default), new ALM users can also be added from Project Customization.

N

ALLOW_UPDATE_USER_PROPERTIES_FROM_CUSTOMIZATION

User details are set in Site Administration. A project administrator cannot change details of project users in Project Customization. If this parameter is set to Y, the project administrator is able to change the details of project users in Project Customization. This option may cause a security risk, as it allows the project administrator to replace a user's e-mail address with his own. By doing so, the project administrator can then use the Forgot Password link to reset and change a user's pass-word. If this parameter does not exist, or is set to N, only the user can change his details in Project Customization.

N

AUDIT_ATTACHMENTS

This parameter must be set to Y for attachment changes to be recorded in the ALM audit log. VERA requires this feature to be enabled for the test run "Attachment History" field to function correctly.

Y

AUTO_LOGOUT_ON_SERVER_DISCONNECT

The ALM server can disconnect an ALM client session. This occurs if: * The site administrator disconnects the session. * The session is automatically disconnected, according to the inactivity time interval setting. For more information on setting a timeout, see WAIT_BEFORE_DISCONNECT. The ALM client machine displays a message, informing the user that the session has been disconnected. If this parameter is set to Y, the client machine also automatically performs logout actions and returns the user to the ALM Login window. This ensures that the user does not continue to work in a session which is no longer connected to the server. If this parameter is set to N, no logout action is performed on disconnect.

Y

CUSTOM_HELP_MENU_LINK

100000000

REPORT_RESULT_LIFESPAN

The number of minutes a cached project report result is valid.

1

REQUIREMENTS_LIBRARY_FUSE

MINIMAL

WAIT_BEFORE_DISCONNECT

The time interval in minutes that the ALM client can be inactive before it is disconnected from the server. Disconnecting the client enables the license to be used by another ALM user. By default, the value is set to 600 minutes. For performance reasons, it is recommended to set a value of at least 60 minutes. If you set the value to -1, ALM will not disconnect, regardless of how long the client is inactive.
