TIMINGMESSAGES

TIMINGMESSAGES controls whether Hyperion Essbase logs the duration of each spreadsheet and report query in the application log file.

Syntax

TIMINGMESSAGES TRUE | FALSE

TRUE Hyperion Essbase logs the duration of all spreadsheet and report queries in the application log file. The log file also records a timestamp of the query's execution. The default setting is TRUE.

FALSE Hyperion Essbase does not log the duration of spreadsheet and report queries in the application log file.

If you have not created a .CFG file, or if you do not have this parameter specified in your .CFG file, Hyperion Essbase automatically records and logs the duration of queries in the application log file. You must set TIMINGMESSAGES to FALSE to disable this feature.

Description

TIMINGMESSAGES controls whether Hyperion Essbase logs the duration of each spreadsheet and report query in the application log file. Setting TIMINGMESSAGES to FALSE disables the logging of query durations in the application log file. If the timing of queries is disabled, Hyperion Essbase does not have to communicate with the operating system to get query start and finish times. As a result, query execution times may be improved in environments with many concurrent users. Disabling this parameter also decreases the size of the application log file.

Example

TIMINGMESSAGES TRUE

causes Hyperion Essbase to time and log the duration of queries in the application log file. For example:

[Thu Mar 19 14:55:32 1998]Local/Sample/Basic/admin/Info(1020055)
Spreadsheet Extractor Elapsed Time : [0.078] seconds

TIMINGMESSAGES FALSE

disables the logging of query durations.
