This file is generally located at: ..\inetpub\wwwroot\StarfishEngine\

Setting	Default	Description
LogPath	C:\Inetpub\WWWRoot\StarfishEngine\	Path to save log files in when LogToFile is enabled.
LogToFile	False	Boolean, Default False. If enabled, a log file (at the “High” level) with be created within the specified LogPath location.
CommandTimeout	3000	Length in seconds for SQL commands to execute
ProxyEnabled	False	Boolean, Default False. If enabled, Starfish ETL™ will use the specified Proxy server when validating it’s license.
ProxyURL		URL for proxy server
ProxyPort	80	Port proxy server is running on
ProxyUseDefaultCredentials	False	Boolean, Default False. If enabled, default network credentials will be used.
ProxyUseSuppliedCredentials	False	Boolean, Default False. If enabled, the credentials specified below will be used.
ProxyCredentialsUsername		Proxy username
ProxyCredentialsPassword		Proxy password
ProxyCredentialsDomain		Proxy user’s domain
RowThreadCount	1	The default number of threads to use when executing a Starfish ETL™ job.
UseParamQueries	False	Boolean, Default False. If enabled (default), Starfish ETL™ will build parameterized SQL queries. If disabled, queries will instead be sent as normal text. Useful for performance tweaking.
UseNoLock	False	Boolean, Default False. If enabled, Starfish will append the SQL “WITH(NOLOCK)” command to generated lookup statements. Useful for performance tweaking.
UseDatabaseXref	False	Setting this value to true will use a SQLite database to store XREF files instead of text documents. This has the added benefit of automatically updating value pairs instead of appending duplicates.
CountStatement	COUNT(*)	Default “COUNT(*)”. When doing lookups, Starfish ETL™ will perform a statement such as “SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE WHERE …” to determine if a record exists or not. Changing this value to something like “COUNT(1)” may help performance for some database systems.
HaultOnError	False	If any kind of error occurs, the entire job will be stopped.
LogErrorRowsToCSV	True	Creates the Exception CSV files when any errors occur, logging the entire row's data, the row # and error description.
DefaultLastRunDate	2000-01-01	When using the LastRunDate system variable, this is the initial date that will be used when the SetLastRunDate function has never been called for the particular job.
DateFormat	yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss	The date formatting used for the LastRunDate variable.
SaveLogDatabase	False	If True, the entire high logging level output will be saved to the engine.db SQLite database in the "log" table.
SQLColumnPreceding		If your database driver needs special column name handling, you may supply the value to surround the field names with. Typically [] or "".
SQLColumnTrailing		See above.
PrefetchRowCount	True	Specifies whether Starfish should figure out how many rows it needs to process before starting a job. If set to false, the progress indicator will not be know. However, for some systems it may take a long time to determine this record count so you may choose to disable it.
RetryRowOnErrorAttempts	0	Retry Rows when an error is encountered.
RetryRowOnErrorAttemptWaitMS	5000	The number of milliseconds to wait between retry attempts.
