Field

Description

Active

If checked, the data source is active. If unchecked, the data source is inactive.

Protected

If checked, the data source is protected (read only) and no schema changes will be performed by Construct.

Features that make changes to the data source are hidden/disabled (for example, Recompile Objects, Append System Columns, auditing, and building WebApps).

Connection Properties

Connection Timeout

Displays the number of seconds until the connection times out and Construct displays an error message stating that the connection failed. Generally, this value does not need to be changed to a value higher than 30 seconds, and adjustment to values above that should be made after checking with SAP Support using component XX-PART-SYN Syniti Support.

Command Timeout

Displays the number of seconds until the command times out, the execution of the command fails, and Construct displays a notification about the error. Insufficient command timeouts are the main cause of timeout errors in Construct and this parameter may be increased to a high value to accommodate long running processes.
