Stat 7.0 - System Administration Guide

License Key

The Quest-provided Stat license key number that is unique to your organization. This field is strictly alpha-numeric and is case-sensitive.

If a Stat license is not entered, or if the license is expired or invalid, then only the SYSTEM user or users with Technical-class licensed user with the “System Table - Edit” right can log in to the Stat Windows Client, in which case the System Maintenance table will be the only accessible window.

Site Message

The Quest-provided registration key used to verify that the license key you entered is valid. After entering the registration key, click Verify. If the key value is verified, further license information is displayed in the Properties field and you can continue using Stat. If the key value is not verified, you will receive an error message and cannot continue until you provide a verified key value.

Properties

Includes the following:

Last Job
Number
(Required Value)

This is the last Stat Central Agent Job number used by Stat. At setup, you may set this value to any number which defines the next Job number. For example, a setting of 0 causes the first Job number to be 1.

Last Rule
Number
(Required Value)

This is the last business or personal rule number used by Stat. At setup, you may set this value to any number which defines the next Rule number. For example, a setting of 0 will cause the first Rule number to be 1.

Last Cust.
Number
(Required Value)

This is the last Customer number used by Stat. At setup, you may set this value to any number which defines the next Customer number. For example, a setting of 0 causes the first Customer number to be 1.

Last PSobj
Number
(Key Value)

Stat uses a unique numbering system to identify PeopleSoft proprietary objects. When a reference to a new PeopleSoft proprietary object is added in Stat, Stat generates an ID number and displays it in this field. For example, a setting of 0 causes the first PeopleSoft proprietary object ID to be 1.

Last Migr.
Number
(Required Value)

Stat uses a unique numbering system to identify each migration. When a new migration completes successfully, Stat generates an ID number and displays it in this field.

Last Object Type
(Key Value)

A unique number assigned by Stat to identify the object type.

Due to its sensitive nature, the Last Object Type field does not appear in the System Maintenance window. However, the values assigned by Stat are contained behind-the-scenes in the table itself. To edit an object type value, you must edit the table using an environment management tool, which is not recommended.

Last Workfl. number
(Required Value)

Stat uses a numbering system to identify each workflow defined in the system.

Min List Refresh
(Required Value)

Determines the minimum allowed automatic refresh rate, in minutes, for users’ Support Consoles

Max List Refresh
(Required Value)

Determines the maximum allowed automatic refresh rate, in minutes, for users’ Support Consoles

Default Country
(Required Value)

The default country of new customers that are defined in Stat. The list of available countries is determined in the Country Maintenance table.

Enable LDAP

If selected, users are permitted to login into Stat using their LDAP login credentials.

Archive 3rd party objects

If you are integrating Stat with a 3rd party version control management (VCM) tool, you can specify whether you want the objects selected from the VCM repository archived in Stat or just a pointer to those objects. Selecting the option No means that Stat only archives the pointer to an object, not the object itself.

CSR date range lower/upper limit

The lower and upper limit of the date range available on CSRs. These values are expressed in a DDMMMYYYY format. The default lower range is 01 January 2016 and the default upper range is 01 January 2025.

CSR default owner rule

Defines the rule on which CSR default owner is calculated by Stat. This is used when creating a new CSR, changing a CSR Queue, or performing a CSR Workflow status transfer.

Use the following values: 1 for Current owner, 2 for logged-in user, 3 for Queue owner, and 4 for CSR creator.

Disable Patch Backout Default Value
(Ora Apps Only)

When scheduling a patch application request, this option determines whether or not Stat executes a patch impact analysis, which means the patch cannot be backed out later. Because applying patches can take time, this option is available for users who do not want to commit the system resources necessary to enable the backout option for a particular patch. Enter “Yes” if you want the Disable Patch Backout option selected by default, or “No” if you want the option de-selected by default.

Mass Migration order by Archive Set

When set to Yes, Stat migrates objects in the order that the user specifies in each archive set followed by object type order.

When set to No, all objects are migrated together in the order of object type.

Max file size for CSR attachment

The default 50MB size of CSR attachments is the recommended maximum. Attachments larger than 50MB can adversely affect performance. For more information on CSR attachments, see the Stat User Guide, Chapter 3, “Change/Service Requests.”

Maximum number of characters in user id

The default number of characters that must be used in a Stat user ID is a minimum of 2. Enter the value you want to change the minimum number of characters

Number of days on Migration Console

The number of days information regarding an object migration is displayed in the Migration Console. The information itself is retained in the database, and earlier migrations can be displayed by setting this number higher.

OA Agent Wait Multiplier
(Ora Apps Only)

For objects that are particularly large, the Stat Central Agent may time out while waiting for an Oracle Agent to finish archiving and migrating the objects. The default time is 30 seconds. However, you can increase or decrease this time by specifying a multiplier. To increase the time, enter a factor greater than 1. The value 2, for example, doubles the time amount to 60 seconds. To decrease the time, use decimals. The value .5, for example, decreases the time by half, or 15 seconds.

OA Migration Default Edition

Sets the default value for Edition in Migration Wizard. Run, Patch, or Both. Defaults to Run.

Prompt to save filter/sort order if it is changed

You can configure Stat to save automatically any changes users make to the sort order or filter settings on a particular maintenance table. The default value for both parameters is No, meaning Stat saves changes automatically and not display the message prompt. However, if you want Stat to display a message prompt that gives users the option of not saving any changes to the sort or filter settings, enter the value Yes for either parameter.

Protocol for REST HTTPS

Defines secure protocol for REST calls. Used when Stat Windows Client connects to the Central Agent. Use the following values: 0 for auto, 2 for TLS 1.1, 4 for TLS 1.0, and 5 for TLS1.2.

Defaults to Zero.

Report maximum number of records allowed

Limits the maximum number of records for a generated report. When the generated report reaches the limit, a warning message displays. The default value is 30,000.

Require users to enter override comments

Selecting the option Yes means that whenever a user overrides the approval requirements for a CSR status transfer, object migration, or patch application, they are prompted to document the reason they are overriding the requirement.

REST calls timeout in seconds

Defaults to 60 seconds. Amount of time that client REST calls wait for the server to process the call.

Restricted CSR attachment file extensions

If there are certain types of files you do not want users opening directly from the Attachments tab (such as executables and .bat files), list the extensions here.

Retention days for MERC_WAKE table

Number of days to save data once it is marked as inactive. This affects the display on the Tools | Stat Central Agent Status window and Stat Oracle Agent Windows.

Stop migration on error

If selected, the Stat Central Agent stops migrating objects once an error is encountered. With proper security rights, users can override this option when setting up a migration.

Timeout period for idle Web Service Connections

Stat supports timing out idle Web Service connections. The default value is 3000 seconds. Increase or decrease the default setting by entering the number of seconds.

Use IP address when looking up SCA

Selecting the option No means the addressHost name is used to resolve Stat Central Agent's IP address (preferred). Selecting the option Yes means the IP address is used to find the Stat Central Agent. Sites with Natted firewalls should always start with the Host name.

The number of rows which will be fetched in a single DB call from PeopleTool tables

This parameter is useful if you are using the Browse Object feature from the Web Client to fetch PeopleSoft propriety objects. This parameter will decide the number of object's whose information will be fetched in one DB trip from the chosen PeopleSoft environment. The higher the number, the lesser the amount of time it will take to fetch values against the options chosen in the Browse Objects popup. However, the higher the number, the higher will be the amount of memory consumed by the Stat Central Agent. The default number will be 10,000.

Maximum amount of concurrent PS migrations than can happen (SCA restart needed)

This is the number of simultaneous PS migrations that SCA can do. This number is only relevant for PS proprietary object's migrations. If this number is equal to five and five migrations are already happening concurrently, then the rest of the migrations will be added in an internal queue in SCA. When the one of older migration finishes, then only a new migration will be picked up from this queue. By default, this number is 10.
