[System]
QueryTimeout
Positive integer between 60-600 or 0,representing seconds
 
600
This setting is the number of seconds to wait for a query to the SiriusSQL database before timing out with an error message. The valid range is 60 to 600 (one minute to ten minutes). Another valid setting is 0, which instructs SysManager to wait indefinitely. Setting it to 0 is not recommended for normal use but may be useful when performing operations which can take a very long time such as the data archiving process on a very large database. The default value if this QueryTimeout setting is not present in the .INI file is 600.
 
Note: The setting is approximate. Setting it to 60 will not automatically terminate a process at exactly one minute. It could be several minutes before the process ends with a timeout. It will depend on the process and what is going on back and forth between SysManager and the SiriusSQL database.
 
SysManager.INI
[System]
ScreenTop
Integer
0
Specifies the top of screen coordinate to determine SysManager’s main window location. If for some reason the window position is lost when it closes (such as SysManager is outside of the screen or much too large to reposition), you can easily revert to the default window position on the next startup by deleting the [System] section from the SysManager.INI file. These values are automatically updated by the application to “remember” your preferred screen coordinates whenever you resize or reposition the application window. The user should not edit these values directly.

[System]
ScreenLeft
Integer
0
Specifies the left side of screen coordinate to determine SysManager’s main window location. If for some reason the window position is lost when it closes (such as SysManager is outside of the screen or much too large to reposition), you can easily revert to the default window position on the next startup by deleting the [System] section from the SysManager.INI file. These values are automatically updated by the application to “remember” your preferred screen coordinates whenever you resize or reposition the application window. The user should not edit these values directly.

ScreenHeight
Integer
910
Specifies the screen height to determine SysManager’s main window size. If for some reason the window position is lost when it closes (such as SysManager is outside of the screen or much too large to reposition), you can easily revert to the default window position on the next startup by deleting the [System] section from the SysManager.INI file. These values are automatically updated by the application to “remember” your preferred screen coordinates whenever you resize or reposition the application window. The user should not edit these values directly.
