Adjusting Epicor ECM (DocSTAR) Software Configuration for Increased Datalink Row Limit
Overview:
Epicor ECM, formerly known as DocSTAR, offers powerful document management capabilities, including Datalink functionality. By default, the software restricts Datalink results to 100 rows, which may not be sufficient for all users’ needs. This guide outlines the steps to adjust the configuration of Epicor ECM to allow for the retrieval of more than 100 rows in Datalink queries, both on the server and client sides.
Adjusting Server Datalink Configuration:
- Locate the Web.config File:
- For 64-bit connections: Navigate to
C:\Program Files\Astria Solutions Group\Eclipse Server\web.config
. - For 32-bit connections: Navigate to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Astria Solutions Group\Eclipse Datalink\web.config
.
- Modify the Web.config File:
- Within the
<appSettings>
tag, add the following key:<add key="MaxDatalinkResultCount" value="200" />
- Save the Changes:
- Save the web.config file after adding the key.
Adjusting Client Datalink Configuration:
- Locate the Client Configuration File:
- For In-Process Datalink: Open
Astria.Client.Windows.AutomationService.exe.config
located atC:\Program Files (x86)\Astria Solutions Group\Eclipse Client Service\
. - For Out of Process Datalink: Open either
Astria.Framework.Datalink.32bitClient.exe.config
orAstria.Framework.Datalink.64bitClient.exe.config
based on the ODBC driver used, located at the same directory as above.
- Modify the Configuration File:
- Within the
<appSettings>
tag, add the following key:<add key="MaxDatalinkResultCount" value="200" />
- Save the Changes:
- Save the configuration file after adding the key.
Additional Configuration:
- Update Constants File:
- Navigate to
C:\Program Files\Astria Solutions Group\Eclipse WebUI\Content
and locate the Constants file with the current ECM build number. - Modify the value of
MaximumTypeAheadItems
to match theMaxDatalinkResultCount
value set in the configuration files.
- Update Web Config File:
- Open the web.config file located at
C:\Program Files\Astria Solutions Group\Eclipse WebUI
. - Add the following section to define
MaximumTypeAheadItems
:<add key="TypeAheadDelay" value="500" />
<add key="MaximumTypeAheadItems" value="200" />
Conclusion:
Adjusting the Epicor ECM (DocSTAR) software configuration to allow for the retrieval of more than 100 rows in Datalink queries involves modifying both server and client configuration files. By following the outlined steps, users can customize the Datalink row limit to better suit their requirements, enhancing the efficiency and usability of the software.
