CCI Environment Variables

This topic lists environment variables that relate to CCI.

Generic environment variable	Description
CCITIMEOUT	Allows the specification, in tenths of seconds, of the maximum time out period that will be used with any CCI based application, such as Drag and Drop, SourceConnect, FileShare or the Compare and Syncronisation Monitor. The default is 2 minutes (1200), and the maximum value that can be used is 2,147,483,647. For example to set this value to 4 minutes: `SET CCITIMEOUT=2400`
CCIERRLOG	Specifies the output location and filename of ccierr.log content which tracks first-instance errors reported from the operating systems. `CCIERRLOG` overrides any entries found in CCI.INI, where the syntax and content is explained in detail.
CCITRACE	Specifies the level of CCI tracing Values Filename for and trace output and the trace options. The trace options are as follows: Note: In all options, `/` or `-` must prefix the option. That is, `/OFF` is the same as `-OFF`. /OFF Switches all CCI tracing off regardless of `CCI.INI` settings. /N Do not trace any user data in the output. Only trace system activity. /D Logs the contents of all buffers passed to and from the CCI functions. The default condition for this option is `OFF`. Data tracing may not be allowed if the application has been coded to prohibit data tracing for security reasons. /F Logs the details of CCI API calls to the trace file. The default condition for this option is `OFF`, unless a filename or any other trace option are specified, in which case it is always `ON`. /P Logs the details of protocol level calls to the trace file. If this flag is not `ON`, then only the details of the CCI user level API will be traced. If this flag is `ON`, the level of function tracing may be greatly increased. The default condition for this option is `OFF`.

Generic environment variable

Description

CCITIMEOUT

Allows the specification, in tenths of seconds, of the maximum time out period that will be used with any CCI based application, such as Drag and Drop, SourceConnect, FileShare or the Compare and Syncronisation Monitor. The default is 2 minutes (1200), and the maximum value that can be used is 2,147,483,647. For example to set this value to 4 minutes:

SET CCITIMEOUT=2400

CCIERRLOG

Specifies the output location and filename of ccierr.log content which tracks first-instance errors reported from the operating systems. CCIERRLOG overrides any entries found in CCI.INI, where the syntax and content is explained in detail.

CCITRACE

Specifies the level of CCI tracing

Values

Filename for and trace output and the trace options. The trace options are as follows:

Note: In all options, / or - must prefix the option. That is, /OFF is the same as -OFF.

/OFF
Switches all CCI tracing off regardless of CCI.INI settings.
/N
Do not trace any user data in the output. Only trace system activity.
/D
Logs the contents of all buffers passed to and from the CCI functions. The default condition for this option is OFF. Data tracing may not be allowed if the application has been coded to prohibit data tracing for security reasons.
/F
Logs the details of CCI API calls to the trace file. The default condition for this option is OFF, unless a filename or any other trace option are specified, in which case it is always ON.
/P
Logs the details of protocol level calls to the trace file. If this flag is not ON, then only the details of the CCI user level API will be traced. If this flag is ON, the level of function tracing may be greatly increased. The default condition for this option is OFF.

TCP/IP specific variables	Description
CCITCP2	Locates the TCP/IP registration program. Values: The hostname or the IP address of the machine hosting the CCITCP2 registration program.
CCITCP2_PORT	The port that is being used for the registration process. Values: The port on which the CCITCP2 registration program operates.

Secure Connection (SSL) specific variables	Description
RANDOM	If using SSL connections, externally generated random data that is stored as a numeric value in the `RANDOM` variable will be inserted into the initial salt value used to generate temporary key pairs used in SSL hand-shaking. The `RANDOM` value will only form part of the initial salt value and is an aid to generating more randomness and not an essential requirement.
COBSSL	If using SSL connections specifies the location of the DemoCA directory. If not found, `SSLDIR` is inspected instead.
SSLDIR	If using SSL connections specifies the generic location of the system's OpenSSL directory.
