Modifying timeout values for EWS collection jobs

By default, the Microsoft Exchange EWS (Exchange Web Services) API sets a timeout property value of 100000 ms (100 seconds) as the default. For Office 365 data collections, this timeout value may not long enough for a data source to collect data.

Parameters in the UC.Analytics.Insights.DataEngine.DataCollector.dll.config file are used to set different timeout defaults for Exchange and Exchange Online EWS data collections to provide flexible timeout configuration and to reduce data source collection timeouts.

The default value "ewsTimoutSeconds = 100" is used for on-premises EWS job settings:

The default value “ewsTimoutSeconds= 1800" is used for online EWS job settings:

Data sources that are affected by the EWS timeout setting are as follows:

Setting a custom title page for exported or subscription insights

When you export an insight (or create an insight subscription) that uses PDF or .docx format, the exported insight displays UC Analytics and the Quest logo on the title page. You can customize the title page to include your own logo and company name by editing a file called UC.Analytics.Insights.DataEngine.InsightLogic.dll.config.

The UC.Analytics.Insights.DataEngine.InsightLogic.dll.config file contains the following text:

When you edit the file and enter your own values, the characters that you enter in the value fields must use valid XML characters. For certain characters, such as double quotation marks (“), ampersand (&), and apostrophe (‘), you must escape the characters to have them render correctly on the title page.

Double quotation marks

"

Apostrophe

'

Ampersand

&

&

Less than

<

&lt;

Greater than

>

&gt;

Suppose that you want to show the company name Sitraka & Co. as the title and also include a graphic file that is located at C:\Users\Admin\My Pictures\CompanyLogo.png.
<add name="exportLogoImageFilePath" value="C:\Users\Admin\My Pictures\CompanyLogo.png"/>

Changing the interval time before job status is purged

By default, UC Analytics purges the job status summary information for a data collection job 30 days after the job has run. UC Analytics purges the job status details information after 7 days. Depending on the size and number of your data collections, you might want to modify the time periods that UC Analytics will keep job status summary and details. You can configure UC Analytics to clean out job status details records separately from job status summary records.

For example, you might decide to keep job status summary records for longer than the job status details records since the details records will occupy much more space.

To change the time period for which UC Analytics will retain job run status summary and details records, you edit the UC.Analytics.Insights.DataEngine.DataCollector.dll.config file.The configuration file is located in the data engine directory on the server that hosts a data storage engine.

To change the retention period for the job status details records, change the 30 beside retentionPeriodInDays= to the number of days that you want retain the job status details data.

Configuring remote PowerShell to use the required proxy settings

For the Exchange Online data sources, if your environment requires explicit proxy settings to access the internet, you must configure the Exchange Online data sources to use the required proxy settings.

Locate the following text in three locations in the Dell.UC.Insights.DataEngine.DataCollector.dll.config file:

These settings affect all Exchange Online data sources that use a remote PowerShell connection.

For more information about the Microsoft PowerShell proxy settings, search for New-PSSessionOption in the Microsoft PowerShell documentation web site.
