WORKSTATION SETTINGS
To access the server settings inside the control center, browse to Configuration -> Client as shown
below :
Pervasive 9 Control Center
Pervasive 8 Control Center
Here's the server settings that you can change. The settings will be described from top to bottom as
seen in the picture above (From Access to Application characteristics).
Communication protocols
· Enable Auto Reconnect : On
This setting specifies whether you want the client to attempt to auto-reconnect during a network outage.
· Supported protocols: TCP only (if using TCP of course)
This setting specifies the protocols on which the database engine listens for client connections. If more
than one protocol is specified, the database engine listens on all specified protocols and slows down the
initial connection time. When the first protocol succeeds, that protocol is used for the remainder of the
session.
Performance Tuning
· Use cache engine: On
This setting specifies whether the client cache should be used. If this setting is Off, then the client
caches single records in a relatively small fixed-size cache on the client workstation. If this setting is
On, then the client uses the client cache engine, if it is loaded in memory. If the client cache engine is
not loaded, this setting has no effect.
The client cache is similar in many ways to the Workgroup engine. By default, it auto-loads into memory
when an application first accesses the database, and it unloads a few minutes after that application is
stopped. After the client cache engine starts, a tray icon appears, allowing you to control the client
cache from the Windows task bar.
