Governor Cycle Time

If security is enabled, set the governor cycle time to an integer between 1 and 255 to specify the frequency, in seconds, at which the server checks user activity against limits set in the SYSXDB.SYSGOVERNOR table.

The XDB Server terminates sessions of users who have passed their limits. Limit users by the:

• Number of API calls
• Amount of time in the SQL engine
• Amount of time processing calls
• Amount of idle time
• Number of fetches

For example, if Governor Cycle Time is set to 30 seconds, the system checks user activity against governor limits every 30 seconds. A cycle that is too short increases system overhead and decreases performance.

For more information about the XDB Governor and how to assign restrictions to users, see the description in the chapter Security and Authority.
