Introduction
WEB.CONFIG can be found in the Academy WEB site folder, eg. C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\DATAACADEMY. It holds all of the global application settings. This document outlines some of the more advanced settings which are not necessarily configurable via the Academy user interface.
Appsettings - <APPSETTINGS>......</APPSETTINGS>
The appsettings key contains the application operating parameters. The following are key entries that are contained within the Appsettings key
Academy "Developer Mode"
<add key="DEV" value="Y" />
(As of Data Academy 5.4, this setting is available in the Application Configuration screen.)
Session “Keep Alive”
<add key="SessionKeepAlive" value="10" />
Forces your Academy session to be kept alive. Even when the IIS Session timeout expires, You will remain logged in to Academy. This should be used with caution, since it will allow anyone with access to your desktop to use an active Academy session. Set the value to 0 (zero) to disable this feature; or 10 (or any value LESS than your session timeout) to enable it.
