Telnet client:
Enter the path and file-name of the local telnet client. Default is "Telnet.exe"

When using SecureCRT as your external telnet client, you will need to add the /TELNET switch to the command line.
For example: C:\Program Files\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.EXE /TELNET


Clear log window before starting each activity:

Tick this box to enable clearing of the Info log window (See "Info log" Tab) before each activity starts. The default is On.


Clear error count before starting each activity:
Tick this box to enable clearing of the error count display (See Status Line of main window) before each activity starts. The default is On.


Automatically enable timer mode:
Tick this box to have the timer automatically set on the specified number of seconds after the service starts.


Hide password change report passwords:
Tick this box to hide the passwords reported by the Device Change password activity report.


Show current database name above grids
Tick this box to show the full path of the current CatTools database


Terminate orphaned activity running longer than n minutes
Set the number of minutes to allow an activity to wait to terminate after which it will be forcibly terminated. The default is 0 minutes, meaning no limit is set. The maximum should be set less than 2880 minutes.

This should only be used in a situation where you have a problem with an activity never terminating. This may be caused by factors such as a logic loop or communications that are stalled for whatever reason. The timing only starts when say all bar one device sessions have completed, and the last session appears hung up.

When this is activated and the time limit is detected, CatTools will attempt to terminate the activity by normal means. If it is unable to terminate the activity by normal means, the CatTools_Client.exe application, which runs the activities, is forcibly terminated. CatTools then waits for about 30 seconds to enable the system to clean up from the termination, and restarts the scheduler.

HTML report maximum row limit
Set the number of output rows for HTML reports. The default is 5000 rows. The minimum is 1 row and the absolute maximum is 50000 rows.
The maximum rows is limited to 50000 as it is unlikely you would want to scroll through an HTML file of more than 50000 rows. If all the report data is required, you should use the corresponding text format file (*.txt).
