Direct Log Database Connection Panel
This panel allows you to specify log database parameters. SuperReport uses these parameters to connect to the log database directly. It does not affect the connection between SuperLogging (the server side library) and the log database.
This panel will pop up automatically when it is necessary.
This is an administrator tool. Do not change those parameters unless it is absolutely necessary. If you do need to change those parameters, please work with your database administrator to set these parameters.
Note: If you change it to different database, you need to put the new driver file on the CLASSPATH when you start Super. See Environment Variables for details.
Driver: The log database driver name. The class or jar file must be on the CLASSPATH.
URL: The log database URL.
User: The log database user name. If you use default database, do not change User. If you use other database, the User is assigned by your database administrator. You can not create a new user from this panel.
Password: The password for the log database User. This is the password associated with User already set in the log database. You can not create new password from this panel. Password can not be empty.
Query timeout: The time out for each access to the log database. The unit is second. The value should be greater than 0. If you do not specify a value, the value will be zero which means "no time out". Zero timeout is not recommended: when something is wrong, a call to the log database should return promptly, so SuperLogging can send alert email to administrators.
Remember user name and password: Check this if you want the User and Password be saved. This is to remember user name and password for this panel only. Other panels provide similar facilities. Note: User and Password are saved as plain text. If you have security concerns, please leave password empty. See Direct Database Connection for details.
Ok: Connects to the log database and saves parameters. If the new connection is successful, it takes effect immediately. If the new connection fails, it will not affect the current connection.
Cancel: Closes this panel without doing anything.
