System and runtime settings

These General Setup values are shared by Designer and runtime services for the selected configuration. Record the current context and restart/revalidate consumers when live refresh is not explicitly verified.

Runtime and service fields

UI purpose / propertyType and defaultRuntime effect and cautions
Default file path / DefaultFilePathfolder / emptyResolves <DEFAULTDIR> for File Connections and LAN Transports. Non-empty values gain a trailing delimiter. Service identities require access.
Maximum wait before termination / MaxWaitBeforeTerminationseconds / 3600Upper wait used by shutdown-related behaviour. Do not shorten without understanding long-running Flow effects.
Service users / ServiceUsersusername list / emptyUsed when deciding whether a user is allowed service controls; matching considers exact, domain-stripped and .\user forms. It does not replace Windows service rights.
Service state / ServiceStateEnabled/disabled / enabledControls Velox processing state separately from Windows service start/stop.
Background colour / BackgroundColourcolour / silverDesigner display setting; no integration runtime effect.

Behaviour and diagnostics

PropertyBoolean defaultVerified effect / qualification
DetailedSystemAudittrueEnables detailed system audit output. More detail can increase stored/logged data.
ReloadModuleOnErrortrueRuntime reload behaviour flag; exact reload points vary, so verify the affected Flow/module.
CacheManualActionsfalseControls manual-Flow caching behaviour. Retest manual runs after changing it.
EnableDiffMergeEditfalseEnables Designer diff/merge editing where supported.
SQL2014SupportfalseAffects SQL/log persistence compatibility behaviour. Change only for a verified database requirement.
EnableDebugfalseEnables global audit debug output; use temporarily and protect logs.
EnableMemCheckfalseEnables FastMM diagnostic mode; intended for controlled diagnosis.
ShutdownMemDumpfalsePersisted flag; complete runtime effect is not verified, so do not use without product guidance.
AllModulesUpdated, InitialisedfalseInternal state flags; not routine tuning controls.

Save, restart/reload the affected process, run a controlled Flow and inspect logs/memory/process behaviour. See logging and reporting settings for related options.
