Service Settings

Enabling the Activation Signal History Loading feature is done as follows:

1. Navigate to the Patriot Data Service installation folder on your Patriot v6.2 server. Usually this will be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Patriot Systems\Patriot Data Service\

2. Open the service configuration file named PatriotService.exe.config in a text editor, e.g. MS Notepad.

3. Search for the following section in the file:

     <setting name="RetreiveOldAttendHistory" serializeAs="String">
       <value>False</value>
     </setting>

   If it is there, set the value False between the tags to True. This will enable the feature when the Data Service is next restarted.

   If the section from step 3 is not present in the file, paste it in just above the bottom tag, and make sure to set the value to True. Here is the bottom of my configuration file as an example:

           <setting name="CSDBServerName" serializeAs="String">
             <value>localhost</value>
           </setting>
           <setting name="CSDBLogin" serializeAs="String">
             <value>sa</value>
           </setting>
           <setting name="CSDBPassword" serializeAs="String">
             <value />
           </setting>
           <setting name="JsonServerPortNo" serializeAs="String">
             <value>9001</value>
           </setting>
           <setting name="JsonExcryption" serializeAs="String">
             <value>False</value>
           </setting>
           <setting name="RetreiveOldAttendHistory" serializeAs="String">
             <value>True</value>
           </setting>
         </PatriotService.Settings1>
       </applicationSettings>
     <startup><supportedRuntime version="4.0" sku=".NetFramework,Version=v4.0"/></startup>
   </configuration>
