  • FAST QR Server
    • The host and port for the FAST QR server that will actually perform the query
  • Reported QR Server
    • The QR server reported back to the FAST client in service requests. The will most likely be the host & port of the Aspire server, so that when a client asks for the names of the servers, the subsequent requests will be returned to the same Aspire server
  • Workflow reload period
    • The period after which to reload the business rules. Defaults to ms, but can be suffixed with ms, s, m, h or d to indicate the required units
  • Error tolerant
    • When set, exceptions in workflow rules will only effect the execution of the rule in which the exception occurs. Subsequent rules will be executed and the job will complete the workflow successfully. If not set, exceptions in workflow rules will be re-thrown and the job will be moved to the error workflow

Turn on debug if required.
