Service Configuration Parameters Reference

Parameter Name

Description

sec.servicename

This is the Dovetail Email Agent Win32 Service short name (the one without spaces). This *MUST* match EXACTLY to the name you typed in during the Dovetail Email Agent install

sec.workingDir

This is the path that Dovetail Email Agent will use to find it's dependency DLLs, configuration, store cache information, and find the delimiters.dat file.

sec.service-address

This is the FROM: addres to use when fatal or severe errors occur and Dovetail Email Agent needs to send an email to the administrator

sec.admin-address

This is the TO: address to use when sending out fatal or severe errors that may occur during Dovetail Email Agent operation

sec.check-for-loop

Specifies whether Dovetail Email Agent should detect whether or not it is sending emails to itself (which could cause very rapid email generation and could crash Dovetail Email Agent or the email server).

NOTE: It is strongly recommended you leave this enabled (set to 'true') at all times.

sec.finalizer-wait-freq

Specifies the number of POP3 polls that should occur before Dovetail Email Agent pauses to allow the .NET Garbage Collector and finalizer thread to catch up and process deallocated memory. This is generally only necessary when the POP3 poll frequency is set very high (less than 10 seconds or so) or the system on which Dovetail Email Agent is running is heavily taxed and frequently has high CPU and memory utilization.

Setting this value to 0 or less disables this functionality.

fchoice.disableLoginFromFCApp

By default, the Dovetail SDK will not allow the username and password specified in the fchoice.connectionstring configuration value to be used as the Clarify™ session login. In many circumstances, doing so would be a security risk. However, for back-office services, such as Dovetail Email Agent, this is not a security risk and is acceptable usage. Setting this value to 'true' allows the Dovetail SDK to use the username and password specified in the fchoice.connectionstring configuration value as the Clarify™ session username and password.

NOTE: This value should ALWAYS be 'false'. Please do not tamper with it as Dovetail Email Agent might be unable to connect to your database properly.

fchoice.dbtype

Clarify database engine type (MSSQL, ORACLE, etc)

fchoice.connectionstring

Database connection string. Please use the ConfigEditor included in the Dovetail Email Agent install root to edit this value

fchoice.logconfigfile

Path to log4net configuration file
