Additional Properties
The Properties dialog is accessible from the new Visual SQL and Visual Performance Monitor executables, as well as from VDBA. (This was previously called the Preferences dialog.)
The SQL/Test Priorities dialog now includes a session timeout parameter that was previously global to all VDBA sessions.
The Performance Monitor Properties dialog includes the following additional parameters:
• Background refresh for monitor windows (includes the choice of having background refresh active or not)
• Session timeout and the maximum number of sessions used within the Performance Monitor control’s internal session cache
• Grid In List option that displays a grid in the Detail Information pane that allows for easier viewing of data
In addition, Visual SQL and Visual Performance Monitor provide a new menu option, Save Preferences As Default. If this option is selected, which is the installation default, the properties are permanently stored and used every time the utility is executed. If this option is unselected, the selected properties are only used for the utility’s current instance.
