Property Value

Type: Boolean
Returns if plugins will be invoked to validate configuration strings, otherwise .

Remarks

By default, any change to a configuration string will be forwarded to the appropriate plug-in for validation. However, for some data references, this can take some time to execute. For example, the PI Point Data Reference will look up the PI Data Archive server and PI Point, correct or add the server id and point id to the configuration string. When large amounts of known data are being created, this extra processing may consume more time and memory than is necessary. Use this property to temporarily disable configuration string validation for Data References and Delivery Channels in those situations.
