Configuring miscellaneous system settings

Use miscellaneous system-level settings to manage the repository cache, dependencies, and server logging.

  1. On the left navigational panel, click Server Settings > Misc.
  2. Click Edit then enter the number of minutes between repository event triggers in the Repository Trigger Cache Time field.
    The number should equal the longest quiet period plus the longest time that is required to obtain a revision log. If the number is too small, changes might not be accurately detected when building dependent projects. The time that it takes to get the revision logs can vary significantly, depending on server load and the complexity of the dependency relationships. The default value is 30 minutes.
  3. Select Build if No Prior Successful Builds Found if you want to build requests to produce builds even if there are no previous successful builds for the workflow.
  4. Select an algorithm from the Digest Algorithm list.
    This option is the algorithm that is used to calculate digests when uploading artifacts to CodeStation project builds. SHA-256 is used by default. The selected algorithm is used in addition to it.
  5. Select the option that is used to determine dependency conflicts from the Dependency Conflicts options:
    • DETECT ALL detect all dependency conflicts even if the dependencies are not resolved.
    • DETECT RESOLVED only detect dependency conflicts that are resolved.
  6. Select Cascade Properties to Dependencies if you want properties to cascade from a request to a created dependency request.
    This option applies to requests from pull and push dependencies. By default, Build does not cascade properties to requests made due to dependency relationships.
  7. Select the default type from the Default Dependency Type list.
    This option determines the default dependency relationship for new dependencies. Users can override this setting.
  8. Select the file trigger type from the File Dependency Trigger Type options:
    This option determines the type of dependency trigger when resolving build artifacts by using a file that defines the dependencies. If a process uses trigger-only dependencies, dependencies on the resolved projects are created with this trigger type.
  9. Select Merge Manual Builds list to merge related manual builds.
    Requests that depend on existing requests wait for them to complete, and other requests for waiting requests are merged.
  10. Select a level from the Logging Level options.
    The System Properties page lists the agent's system properties. System properties cannot be edited.
    • Info provides basic information about server activity.
    • Warn logs all server warnings. The default option.
    • Error logs all server errors.
