Name	Default value	Description
AUTHORIZATION	SPACE	This parameter determines if OutBoard Authorization is switched ON (value X) / OFF (value ' ').
BG_JOB_DIRECT_START	SPACE	This parameter determines if Background jobs in OutBoard are started "With converting to Time – Based Jobs" (value 'X')/ "Without converting to Time – Based Jobs" (no value). When a job is started "Without converting to time-based jobs", this job is scheduled and started normally when any background job is free. When selecting "With converting to Time – Based Jobs", the job will be started immediately if any background job is free. If there are no free background jobs it will try to execute the job every ten seconds for 30 minutes.
CHECK_PACKAGE_SIZE	1000000000	This parameter checks the maximum size of each data package during archiving to avoid possible problems with the future reload of archived data, a load of archived data to other InfoProviders, or performance problems during reporting on archived data in SP19. This parameter can negatively impact the archiving performance in the copy phase when there are many characteristics used as semantic groups in the Data archiving process. To disable this check, change the value of this parameter to an empty value.
CREATE_PARTITIONING	SPACE	This parameter applies only to transparent storages. We currently support Oracle and SybaseIQ. When enabled ('X'), the system creates a table of DAP, which is partitioned based on a request. Please note this setting doesn't influence already existing DAPs and it doesn't initialize partitioning on already existing DAPs
DISPLAY_COMP_RATIO_TYPE	SPACE	This parameter determines the way of computing the saved storage by archiving. Two possible settings are possible:LOCAL_ONLY: when the saved storage is calculated, the ratio for calculating the saved storage in external storages is set to 100%. For data archived in the online database, the compression ratio was determined during archiving. When the saved storage is calculated, the compression ratio used for calculation is taken and is determined during archiving. In case the parameter is changed, the statistics need to be recalculated with the report /dvd/nls_upd_clu_ratio_size.
DUMMY_VARIANT_DATE	19900101	Bottom range date limit used for generated data archiving process variants. Possible values: date >= 19010101 (YYYYMMDD) Note: If a fiscal variant is year-dependent, the value of this setting has to be inside the defined range of years for that variant, otherwise the date will not be translated.
FILTERING_TYPE	SETS	Determines the way, how is the archived data filtered when accessed. Can be based on RANGE or SETS. Possible values: RANGE, SETS.
HNA_UNLOAD_PRIO	9	Determines the Unload Priority of Outboard tables for SAP BW running on SAP HANA. It can be 0 ~ 9, where 0 means not-unloadable and 9 means the earliest unload.

LOAD_USE_ADD_SORTING	SPACE	When enabled, data loaded from archived WODS is sorted in the same order in which it was loaded. This applies when the setting has the value ‘X’, L mode is used, source WODS is archived. Setting may be switched ON (value X) / OFF (value ‘ ’).
LOAD_PAR_RET	2	Maximum number of finished processes during parallel DTP load. Possible values: integer > 0 e.g. 10, 20, 50.
LOAD_PAR_WP	20	Determines how many parallel jobs will be used for reading from the archive when loading from the archive via DTP. Possible values: integer >= 0 e.g. 0, 4, 15.
NAV_ATTR_BUFFER	3000000	Size of the buffering table when the Navigation attribute support is switched on. Possible values: integer > 0 e.g. 10, 20, 50.
NAV_ATTR_FILTER_POS	0	Defines the filtering order/ priority when the Navigation attribute support is switched on. Value 0 means that filtering on the Navigation attribute is done at first then the filtering on other attributes is done. Value 1 represents the opposite scenario.
NAV_ATTR_SELECTION	1	This parameter is for turning the navigation attribute support functionality: on (1) or off (" "). This setting can be edited on the InfoProvider level. It is recommended to turn this parameter off for SybaseIQ archiving storage. This is due to the fact that needed filtering is done on the database level and there is no need to use the standard Outboard navigational functionality in this case.
NLS_STATISTICS	X	This parameter determines if OutBoard Statistics is switched ON (value X) / OFF (value ' ').
REBUILD_AGGREGATE	X	This parameter defines if OutBoard aggregates are rebuilt automatically (value X) during the archiving process or deactivated instead (value ' '). If the automatic rebuild is switched off, the OutBoard aggregates can be activated and filled again using the report /DVD/NLS_FILL_AGGREGATE_IN_BG.
REP_PAR_WP	5	This value determines how many work processes are used for reading when data from OutBoard is requested for reporting. Possible values: integer > 0 e.g. 10, 20, 50 Note: For an IQ transparent storage, the parameter for REP_PAR_WP cannot be set to higher than 1.
SIZE_DIFF_THRESHOLD	20	If using a size-dependent OutBoard license, after reaching this value of free space, the user will get a warning message by each archiving process or creation of DAP.
SIZE_TO_MONEY_COEFF	10	Determines how much money 1 GB costs. Money saved is computed by multiplying SIZE_TO_MONEY_COEFF by storage saved. Possible values: integer > 0 e.g. 10, 20, 50
SIZE_UNIT	MB	The value used as a base unit of measurement for all volumes shown in GUI. If changed, data is recalculated accordingly. Possible values: KB, MB, GB
STORAGE_UPDATE_PACK_LOG_SECS	600	Storage updates can take quite a long time even for one request, therefore we also provide information about processed packages. The value of this parameter will affect the time-frequency of how often (in seconds) a message about processed packages should be written into the application logs. However, the messages are written only after the complete package is processed, therefore it can happen that the message is not written right after the specified value. Possible values: integer > 0
UPDATE_SIZE_STATISTICS	SPACE	This parameter determines if the object size statistics are updated while archiving or reloading data. In the case of substantial archiving requests, recalculation has a noticeable performance impact. This setting may be switched ON (value X) / OFF (value ‘ ’).
USE_DATA_CLASS_BADI	SPACE	Determines if BAdI will be used to define DATA_CLASS. If the value is 'X', the parameter DATA_CLASS cannot be edited in Settings for a given InfoProvider. (The default value can still be changed.) If the BAdI is used, the implementation for BAdI /DVD/NLS_DETERMINE_DATACLASS has to be created. Parameters of BAdI: iv_dapname – Technical Name of InfoProvider ev_data_class – Data class in technical settings. The output format of the BAdI implementing class method GET_DATA_CLASS should be of type TABART.
USE_PART_KEY_BADI	SPACE	If the value is 'X', the user has the possibility to define his own partitioning keys for the OutBoard table for the DB6 database. If the BAdI is used, the implementation for BAdI /DVD/NLS_STORAGE_PARTITION_KEY is to be implemented. The output format of the BADI implementing the class method /DVD/NLS_DB6_STORAGE_PART should be the table type /DVD/NLS_TT_FIELD. The input parameter iv_tabname is the name of the table to be partitioned.
USE_DV1_NAMESPACE	X	If turned on ('X'), the needed local cluster table in DAP creation is created in the namespace /DV1/. If there are any issues with this namespace, the namespace /BIC/ is used instead – by setting the parameter to ' '.
VP_SUPP_NAV_ATTR_IN_LOC_FILT	N	In case the local filters are defined on navigational attributes, some tuning can be done by setting the parameter to a specific value: S (recommended): support filtering on navigational attributes in the local filters N: local filters will be removed/cleared from the filtering completely R: only local filters parts connected to navigational attributes will be removed
WRITER_ADSO_INDEX_AUTOBUILD	X	This setting initializes secondary indexes on all key fields of an ADSO during a DAP creation. This setting is supported only for Writer, for ADSO delta calculation type ("DSO like").
WRITER_AUTO_RELOAD_EMPTY_REQ	SPACE	Enables the automatic reload functionality. At the beginning of a DTP load to cube / DSO activation, empty archiving requests are reloaded. Data, therefore, stays in the active table, in the post-processing, new archiving requests are created with the same archiving condition. Possible values: ON (value X) / OFF (value ' ') .
WRITER_AUTO_RELOAD_THRESHOLD	0	Sets the maximum number of rows for creating a new archiving request in the post-processing. In case of archiving request having more rows than the set value, a new archiving request has to be created manually.
FILTERING_EXCLUDE_NAV_ATTR	SPACE	At query runtime split filter ranges into those with navigation attributes and without nav. attrs. And filters on database only with filters without nav. attrs. (additional filtering on navigation attributes on the app. server) .
FILTERING_HUGE_SEL	100	Max value of the number of conditions. When exceeded filtering on the application server is used (internal table instead where condition on storage).
HUGE_SEL_FAE_FOR_SEL_OPT	1000	Max value for all entry lines. When exceeded filtering on the application server is used (unfiltered data are selected into an internal table, additional filtering on application server instead of the complex one where the condition sent into database needs to be processed).
INDEX_PAR_BUILD	2	When building the indexes, this is the number of parallel packages processed for each request.
INDEX_SEC_BUILD	SPACE	Determines, if OutBoard secondary indexes will be built during archiving of new data values: 'X' - Build , ' ' - Do not build , 'P' - Build partially.
INDEX_SEC_DEFAULT_STORAGE	SPACE	Identifies, which SM storage should be used as a default for OutBoard SI creation. (SPACE = primary database).
INDEX_SEC_FILTERING_ON_POS	SPACE	Determines, if OutBoard Secondary Indexes will be used for filtering based on the position of entries in the NLS archive on row level. Values 'X' - use , ' ' - do not.
INDEX_SEC_HINT_BLOCK_FACTOR	SPACE	Determines, which value is used for "ORACLE" hint factors (for parameters visible in TA rz11 rsdb/max_in_blocking_factor and rsdb/max_blocking_factor) (values: empty/integer).
INDEX_SEC_READ_PACKAGE_SIZE	500000	Determines, how often the /SEC/ table will be accessed during Secondary Indexes creation, the higher package size, the less often the /sec/table is accessed.

LOOKUP_FAE_OPTIMIZATION	X	Use hashed For all entries table to filter the data - faster performance, the recommendation is to have it turned on. Possible values - X/' '.
MASS_ARCH_VAR_PREV_STAT_CHECK	SPACE	Mass archiving special functionality should be executed for not partitioned objects Possible values - X/' '.
MASS_ARCH_VAR_SPECIAL_EXEC	X	Mass archiving parallelism functionality starting the variants sequentially. The next variant is started if the previous one has an NL request created (partition is added), then it's running in parallel. And also it's setting up priority to a variant that is creating NL request (adding partition). It means all other running variants which are inserting into the table will wait while the variant creates an NL request. Possible values - X/' '.
MASS_ARCH_WAIT_TIME_PAR	0	Mass archiving for the first set of variants in parallel. The value is time in seconds, which variant of the first set will wait to run another one. It works only for parallel mass archiving. DO NOT set it up when parameter MASS_ARCH_VAR_SPECIAL_EXEC is set because it will uselessly decrease the performance of mass archiving. This is caused due to the fact the variant will wait twice. It is used for a deadlock situation when starting the initial run.
MAX_INSERT_PACKAGE_SIZE	0	When inserting data into Hadoop storage, this is the value of the maximum package size. If there is more data, the package is split into multiple smaller packages.
NAV_ATTR_CHAR_VALUES_COUNT	100	Maximum number of records in Navigation attributes selection, for which navigation attributes selection is translated to basic IOBJ selection. Possible values - integer

SET_DEFAULT_SM_STORID_FOR_AGG	AGGSTORAGE	Identifies in which storage of storage management is the aggregate created.
WRITER_BACKUP_PACKAGE	X	This parameter is relevant for transparent storage processing. This functionality is present to secure transactional processing, where NLS WRITER executes the update as a standalone delete/insert statement. Would processing be terminated exactly between these two actions, a possibility of uncommitted data could lead to a data loss. Therefore all packages are backed-up prior to processing and dropped right afterward if the execution went without error or interruption.
WRITER_CHECK_FULL_LOAD	X	Parameter WRITER_CHECK_FULL_LOAD is used for InfoCube load and DSO Request activation. If this parameter has 'X', then all full loads are processed, i.e. Writer functionality is off. However, there is an exception table '/DVD/NLS_W2_LOAD'. In the field 'DATA_LOAD' can be stored the technical names of DTPs or InfoPackages, which will be processed by Writer.
WRITER_ENABLED_FOR_CUBE	X	Specifies whether the NLS Writer processing should take action when CUBE load processing interferes with archive selections. If turned off, SAP functionality works as standard.
WRITER_ENABLED_FOR_ODSO	X	Specifies whether the NLS Writer processing should take action when DSO load processing interferes with archive selections. If turned off, SAP functionality works as standard.
WRITER_INDEX_SEC_BUILD	X	Determines, if OutBoard Secondary Indexes will be rebuilt during NLS Writer adjustments values: 'X' - Rebuild , ' ' - Do not rebuild , 'P' - Rebuild partial.
WRITER_MAX_BUFFERED_PACKAGES	4	Parameter is relevant only for the DSO activation process. This parameter regulates the maximum number of buffered packages in memory. If the number is set to a “very high” figure, depending on hardware performance, this may cause a “MEMORY_LOW” short dump. Packages are kept in memory because of performance reasons. It is recommended that one package should be approx. 100MB, i.e. 10 packages will use 1GB of memory.
WRITER_ODSO_MAX_PACK_ROWS	100000	Parameter is used for DSO Request activation. This parameter sets the maximum number of rows, which can be inserted into an archiving package. This setting is taken into account only when new data should be inserted into the archive.
WRITER_ODSO_MAX_PACK_RECORDS	100000	Parameter is used for DSO Request activation. This parameter sets the maximum number of locked records, which will be processed by using the Writer. For cases where more records should be processed, Writer processing will be skipped and a warning will appear. If this happens, the user should increase the maximum number of records but this may affect the performance of the system.
WRITER_ODSO_MAX_REP_JOBS	2	Parameter is connected with the report '/DVD/NLS_W2_CHECK_DSO'. This parameter sets the maximum number of background jobs that will be used for moving locked data from an active table to an archive. Note: The minimum number of jobs is 2.
WRITER_REBUILD_AGGREGATES	X	Parameter is used for InfoCube load and ODS Request activation. If the parameter is set to 'X', then the Writer rebuilds all OutBoard Aggregates connected to the affected InfoProvider.
WRITER_TRS_MASS_DELETE	100	This parameter sets the value of how many records will be deleted from the database at once, saving time for logging operations on the database. For most systems, it is not recommended to set this parameter's value beyond 500.
WRITER_TRS_MASS_INSERT	1000	This parameter sets the value of how many records will be inserted in bulk in one insert statement at once. Due to SQL command size limitations, it is not recommended to set this parameter's value beyond 5000.
RELOAD_DUPLICATES	SPACE	Parameter is set during /dvd/nls_set_reload_duplicates. It determines which FM for getting locked records is used. (SPACE = /DVD/NLS_W2_IS_REQUEST_LOCKED / X = /DVD/NLS_W2_GET_DUPLICATE_RECS). Connected in Writer preprocessing with parameter WRITER_ODSO_MAX_RECORDS (max value of locked records in a DTP load, if there are many records in a locked area, they will be written into the error stack and writer processing will skip them).
NAV_ATTR_CURSOR_SIZE	500000	Size of a cursor to read and replicate navigational attribute master data.
NAV_ATTR_GEN_WHERE_TAB	OLD	Use value NEW when reporting fails on navigation attributes to generate subroutine pool error.
NAV_ATTR_ON_FLY_REPLICATION	X	Turns ON/OFF master data of navigation attributes "on the fly" replication (during reporting).
LOG_TECH	X	Turns on/off writing technical logs into application logs. Use for debugging (at reading data from archive) Log obj.: /DVD/NLS_TECH. It can create a lot of "garbage" logs.
INDEX_SEC_REBUILD_PAR_WP	5	Count of parallel work processes for sec index rebuild.
INDEX_PAR_WAIT_FINISH	60	Time period to check if all parallel processes (building a secondary index) have finished.
SET_EXCLUDE_INACTIVE_REQUEST	X	Effective only for transparent storages. Value X = in fetch next package add into where condition only active requests. This can cause performance problems because of too many requests. (200+) HADOOP - reporting on partitions is more effective.
USE_PIT_HANA	SPACE	Point-in-Time recovery for HANA/primary database. Used to be able to recover from the state, where the archive is restored to a point in time when it doesn't correspond with the primary database.
USE_PIT_ARCHIVE	SPACE	Point-in-Time recovery for an archive. Used to be able to recover from the state, where the primary database is restored to a point in time when it doesn't correspond with the archive.
PIT_BIN_STORAGE	SPACE	Name of the binary storage from Storage Management used to store data for Point-in-Time recovery for HANA.
WRITER_SYB_UPDATE_DIRECTLY	SPACE	If set to 'X' skipping the standard index usage. Also do not use sm classes to insert into archiving table, use open SQL's "CONNECTION" instead.
WRITER_SYB_FOR_ALL_ENTRIES	SPACE	Parameter is used for DSO Request activation. If the parameter is set to 'X', then for any transparent storage, Writer will select data from the NLS archive directly from the transparent storage table with an open SQL statement SELECT… FOR ALL ENTRIES.
WRITER_ODSO_PREPROC_OPTIM_READ	SPACE	Turn on optimization via open cursor for all entries for lookup.
WRITER_VERIFICATION	SPACE	Determine if verification phase during W2 processing should be executed. (value : SPACE = SKIP / C = count packages)
WRITER_CLEANUP_MAX_WHERE	100	Max number of rows in where condition during W2 cleanup phase. When exceeded processing dumps.
