A Global System Options record is comprised of a Name and Value setting. The Name selector includes options configured for your system. For each Name option, assign a corresponding Value (up to 512 characters). The table below includes a list of available options along with examples.

 

If an option is not showing in the list, then verify that all system files and modules are established on the system.

NOTE: An assumption regarding the two following data options is that the use of the MoversSuite Static Data Cache of Daily and MoversSuite Static Data Cache Location of ProgramData will result in load time improvements for all users.

MoversSuite Static Data Cache

 

You can control how MoversSuite data is cached (storage of key tables to a temporary file) through the following methods. If no option is set, the system defaults to the On method.

 

On (default)

Each time the application starts, the cached tables are checked for changes. If changes are found, then the tables are updated from the database. If no change is found, then the tables are loaded from the cache. This method is run each time you start or restart MoversSuite.

 

Off

No caching occurs. Tables are loaded from the database upon each startup of MoversSuite.

 

Daily

Similar to the On method, this method instructs the application to only check for changes the first time you start the application on a given day. If tables have changed while a person is logged into MoversSuite, then they will only see those changes reflected in MoversSuite on the following day.

 

The Daily method is potentially the most effective in terms of application load times.

 

Users can manually evoke a cache load on their active MoversSuite session through the Refresh Data Cache function.

 

Internal option name: MoversSuiteStaticCache

MoversSuite Static Data Cache Location

Utilize this option to set the folder location of cached files. If no option is set, the system defaults to the Local method.

 

Local (default)

Each user has a local copy of the cache file attached to the workstation or server they log in to. If load balancing causes this user to run MoversSuite from a different server the next time they log in or if they log into a different workstation altogether, then the application references the local files from the different server. The local files are typically stored to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\MoversSuite, but this file location can vary depending on the operating system version and how the system is configured.

 

Roaming

This option is similar to the Local option except that the application is referencing the Roaming folder associated to the user. This is typically their login location within the User domain for the person (username) logging in:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MoversSuite. Instead of multiple Local locations, this option locates the single Roaming folder associated to the user, which may be on a different server across the network and may not be as fast as the Local option would be.

 

ProgramData

The Local and Roaming options are specific to each user, whereas the ProgramData option is not. This option references the same folder on the same server for all users on that server. Typically, this folder is the C:\ProgramData\MoversSuite folder. The MoversSuite installation process attempts to grant full control to this folder for all users on the server, which is needed since all users need read, write, and delete privileges to the cache files.

With this option, the cache is only loaded when data has changed to the tables, no matter which user triggers the load (either auto refresh at startup or through the manual feature). So, if one user logs into MoversSuite and there are changes, then the cache is updated. If there are no changes affecting the cache, then when subsequent users log in, the application checks for changes, if there are none, then the cache is not reloaded for each subsequent user. This can be considered a commonly-shared cache file.

 

The ProgramData option is potentially the most effective in terms of application load times.

 

Users can manually evoke a cache load on their active MoversSuite session through the Refresh Data Cache function.
