Developer-Application

In every kosmos installation, there is one resource (kosmos.apl) that is the only of its kind to the installation.

This file contains information that is necessary in order the application can know the environment and the conditions under which is operating. All this information is called properties of the application. Some of the properties are not explained by they are going to support soon.

Fetch Rec Count		Because the clients work in 3-tier configuration (they don't "see" the database) the server sends them a specific number of database records. This number is the default and can be redefined for every specific "Select" query. SeeSetFetchRowCount.
Fetch Timeout (sec)		It is the time, in seconds, that the client can wait for an answer (in case of a synchronous request from the server). Combine this time and the "Fetch Rec Count" in order to avoid "Timeout" messages. For example, if we define a big number of records to be fetched and a small number of seconds in fetch timeout, it is obvious that the server will not have the appropriate time to service the request!
