Depending on the number of entities in the system, it can take several minutes for cardholder information to be ready for you to perform mustering operations. If you do not want to wait during an emergency, you can configure when the cardholder, credential, and area information is downloaded to your client machine.

What you should know

  • By default, the cardholder, credential, and area information is downloaded the first time the Mustering task is opened and connected to the Directory, and every time the task reconnects to the Directory.
  • You can configure the information to be downloaded as soon as you log on to the Security Center Client instead, but this might negatively impact Directory performance.

Procedure

  1. Open the MusteringSettings.xml file.
    By default, it is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec\Genetec Access Control Mustering\.
  2. Change the value of the CacheEntitiesOnLogOn attribute to True.
  3. Save the file.

Example

<MusteringSettings>
  <CacheEntitiesOnLogOn>True</CacheEntitiesOnLogOn>
  <TaskAvailableOffline>False</TaskAvailableOffline>
</MusteringSettings>
