General Options
Run as Daemon

This check box indicates whether this session should run as a daemon. If the session does not run as a daemon, the execution stops after the selected range has been processed.

If the daemon time-out is not specified or zero, the session runs continuously. When running in a job, the job does not stop. When running manually, the session stops if you click Cancel in the progress bar.

Daemon Time-out (min)

The time-out in minutes. This field is enabled if Run as Daemon is selected.

If you specify 0, the session runs continuously.

If you specify a value greater than 0, the session automatically stops rendering after the specified time-out. The session is not closed. This is useful if the session runs in a job, because otherwise the session would not stop. Because of this time-out, the session can be restarted in a job every hour.

Number of Additional Servers

The number of additional servers, that is, bshells, to start.

Allowed values

0-99

Query Wait Time (sec)

If the session runs as a daemon, this field indicates how long the session waits after the selection has been processed. After the wait time, a check is run whether new documents to be processed are created.
