Applications settings
PAGE CONTENTS
This page describes configuration settings for the Planning Space applications, as they are controlled from IPS Manager.
For settings that can be made at the level of individual client users, IPS Manager controls the default value that clients will inherit, and whether clients are allowed to make changes from the default.
Important: You must click the 'Save all changes' button at the top of the page to store the settings changes that you have made; the 'Discard changes' button can be used to undo changes if the 'Save all changes' button has not been pressed. Settings which have been changed from their default value appear in bold face. The 'Reset' button for each setting can be used to restore the default value (and then click 'Save all changes' to perform the reset).
Overview of applications configuration
The following table summarises the different types of application setting.
Setting type | Applies to | Can be set by | Location of setting controls | PowerShell cmdlet NOUN ( Get-{NOUN} and Set-{NOUN} ) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Service setting | All tenants and all server machines | IPS Administrator | Applications > {APPLICATION} > Advanced | ApplicationServiceSetting
|
Server setting | Server machine (all tenants) | IPS Administrator | Applications > {APPLICATION} > Advanced | ApplicationServiceSetting
|
Tenant setting | Tenant (all server machines) | IPS Administrator | Applications > {APPLICATION} > Advanced | ApplicationServiceSetting
|
Client setting - scope 'Tenant' | Application client for all users in a tenant | IPS Administrator | Applications > {APPLICATION} > Client settings (Scope: Tenant setting) | ApplicationClientSetting
|
Client setting - scope 'User' | Application client | IPS Administrator | Applications > {APPLICATION} > Client settings (Scope: User setting) (Note: IPS Administrator sets the default value for users, and can set the scope so that users cannot modify the value) | ApplicationClientSetting
|
User | Client application software (Note: only if setting is not locked by IPS Administrator) | (Not applicable) |
PowerShell cmdlets are available for IPS Administrators to Get, Set or Reset all types of settings. See IPS PowerShell module (Automation cmdlets).
The 'Server' settings are intended to allow adjustment for different server machine hardware resources, for example if a server machine in a cluster is provisioned with extra resources for use as a 'large job' server. However most of these server-specific settings are located in the IPS Manager 'Servers' screen (see Servers configuration).
Change from Planning Space 16.5 to Planning Space 20: In version 20 the Tenant Settings cannot be modified by tenant administrators, and the 'Tenant Settings' interface has been removed from the tenant web server and the Planning Space client.
Client settings and scope
Each client setting has a scope, that is whether it is a 'User setting' which can be modified by the user of an application client, or it is a 'Tenant setting' which can only be modified by an IPS Administrator and has the same setting for all users in a tenant.
There is a default scope (User or Tenant) for each client setting, which is recorded in the tables below.
For some settings, the scope is changeable by an IPS Administrator. This possibility is marked in the tables below in the 'Scope change?' column, where the values are 'Yes', or blank meaning 'No'.
If a scope is changeable, an IPS administrator can do this:
- in the IPS Manager web user interface: click the 'Edit' button for a setting, and use the buttons to switch between 'Always default to this setting' (for Tenant setting) or 'Allow user to change default setting' (for User setting);
- using the PowerShell cmdlet
Set-ApplicationClientSetting
to set the value of 'IsUserScope' to 0 (for Tenant setting) or 1 (for User setting).
Client settings have a 'ConfigFile' attribute, which is recorded in the top row of each table of settings (below). You will need to use this attribute string to get or set client settings using the PowerShell cmdlets, or using the IPS Admin API.
Basic settings (for each application)
Use the 'Basic' tab in the settings screen for each application - which is accessed from the main 'Applications' screen (click 'Applications' in the left-hand menu).
These application settings apply to all tenants and all server machines in a cluster.
Diagnostics settings
These two settings control the level of logging data which is recorded.
Important: For an IPS Server cluser, log files are written separately on each server machine, based on the processes and events which occur only on that machine. There is no merging of log file content between the server machines.
Setting name | Description |
---|---|
Main log level | The level of logging can be set to one of the following options (in order of increasing detail): Error, Warning, Info, Trace. Default value is Info. The log file location is set for each server machine with the 'LogFolder' setting, in the 'Servers' screen, 'Advanced' section. |
Event log level | The level of logging can be set to one of the following options (in order of increasing detail): Error, Warning, Info, Trace. Default value is Info. These log messages appear in the Windows Event Viewer for each server machine. |

The data must be older than a specified age to be deleted (see other setting). The setting should use a CRON expression (six field format with initial Seconds). The default value is 0 1 0 ? * SUN, i.e. to run every Sunday starting at 00:01:00. | 0 1 0 ? * SUN | CRON expression |

License.SelectionMode | Tenant | This determines the license acquisition behavior when a client user starts the application; the automatic settings can reduce the need for users to interact with a license selection dialog, and also the automatic selection can optimize the takeup of licenses from license pools. If set to 'Manual', the user must select from the available licenses, however the selection will be stored and automatically re-used in following sessions, if it is still a valid license. If set to 'Automatic', the license server will always make an automatic selection (the user is allowed to open the License Manager and change the license selection, but this will not be remembered for the next session). If set to 'AutomaticWithOverride' the license server will make an automatic selection, unless the user manually makes a selection via the License Manager, in which case this selection will be stored for re-use in future sessions. The 'Profile' setting is used with the Licence Profile feature (see License profiles). | AutomaticWithOverride | Manual, Automatic, AutomaticWithOverride, Profile | |

If the setting value is blank then the storage location will default to the tenant 'cluster shared temp folder'; temporary files will be removed as part of the automated IPS cluster shared folder clean-up task. If the setting specifies a different location then it will be the responsibility of IPS Administrators to ensure that temporary files are regularly cleaned up.

---|---|---|---|---|
SpreadsheetCacheLimit | Spreadsheet | Size in megabytes of the cache used for spreadsheet calculations. When a spreadsheet calculation is completed, the spreadsheet is cached, so that it may be used again in a future calculation that requires this spreadsheet. If the memory limit is exceeded, cached data will be deleted from the cache in LRU (least recently used) order so that new spreadsheet data can be added. Each job receives its own cache. | 50 | 0 to 2000 |

CalculationSpreadsheetSharedFolder | Spreadsheet | File share location where calculation spreadsheets will be saved during Result Set calculations, if the option 'Preserve Calculated Spreadsheets' is applied. If the setting value is blank then the storage location will default to the tenant 'cluster shared temp folder'; temporary files will be removed as part of the automated IPS cluster shared folder clean-up task. If the setting specifies a different location then it will be the responsibility of IPS Administrators to ensure that temporary files are regularly cleaned up. (Note: the file share will be validated when the setting is saved, therefore the share must be accessible for the setting to be modified.) | None | Windows file share |
