The XmlRpcHelper.XmlRpcHelperConfig helper database table configures the operation of the XMLRPC Helper.

The schema of the XmlRpcHelper.XmlRpcHelperConfig database table is described in the following table.

Table 1. XmlRpcHelper.XmlRpcHelperConfig database table schema
Column name Constraints Data type Description 
m_HelperDbTimeout
 UNIQUE Long64 The helper database timeout, that is, how long before the database expires. 
m_HelperDebugLevel

optional

 Integer Sets the debug level of the helper, printing to the file specified in m_HelperLogfile. 
m_HelperDoNotQueryVBs
