Setting | Definition | Default |
|---|---|---|

|
| The maximum number of connections that are allowed to the DataStore. |
|
| (c3p0 library) Sets the amount of time a connection can be idle before it is closed. This parameter should only be modified with the assistance of uptime software Customer Support. |
|
| (c3p0 library) Sets the number of helper threads that can improve the performance of slow JDBC operations. This parameter should only be modified with the assistance of uptime software Customer Support. |
|
datastoreHealthCheck.checkinterval | The frequency, in seconds, at which up.time checks that the DataStore database is up (a value of "0" disables this database check). | 5 |

| The name of the system on which the database is running. |
|
| Properties and values to append to the JDBC database URL. Note that only MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server supports URL properties; this setting will not work if you are using Oracle. | |
