Configuration

The minimum words and the maximum length of the message can be set via a configuration parameter.

visulox config list -name  entry.minwords.external_message_policy

    --------------------------------------------------------------
    | parameter                              |      type | value |
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    | entry.minwords.external_message_policy | OPERATION | 1     |
visulox config list -name entry.maxlength.external_message_policy

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    | parameter                               |      type | value   |
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    | entry.maxlength.external_message_policy | OPERATION | default |
    -----------------------------------------------------------------


If default is set, the default value will be used for the message. These default values can also be adjusted:

All configuration parameters set to default will also have the new values after these settings are changed.

visulox config list -name entry.minwords.default
