Execution (PM)

Inter-process communication buffer size
Sets the size of the buffer used to exchange data between processes. The allowed range is 10 to 1000 MB.
The default is 10 MB. There is no need to change it unless you have been advised to do so when troubleshooting a specific problem.
Used in the project.
FTP operation timeout (sec)
Sets how long, in seconds, the program waits for an FTP operation to complete.
Number of HTTP request attempts
Sets the number of attempts to execute an HTTP request.
Use an alternative HTTP request method
This is a global program setting that applies to all new projects.
Enables the alternative HTTP request method by default.
- standard — using the third-party Chilkat library;
- alternative — ZennoLab's own implementation.
If HTTP requests do not work correctly with the standard method, try switching to the alternative.
You can also do this in an individual project's settings.
Use HTTP Connection Pool
Enables an optimized HTTP connection mechanism that improves request stability.
Maximum number of HTTP Connection Pool connections
Limits the number of connections that ZennoPoster and ProjectMaker can use simultaneously. This helps stabilize the program when handling a large number of HTTP requests.
Respect group order in classic element search
When enabled, condition groups are processed sequentially according to their numbers in the Group column.
Save files safely
Helps prevent damage to files and lists when the server suddenly becomes overloaded.
Look for a .zp project when executing the “Project in Project” action
If the Project in Project action specifies a project in the old .xmlz format but the file cannot be found, the program tries to find a project with the same name and the .zp extension.
Keep an empty file in UTF8 encoding
Preserves UTF-8 encoding if the list linked to a file becomes empty during project execution.
Run unfinished projects on startup
When the program starts, it resumes projects that had not finished before the program was last closed.
Projects are restarted only if you selected the corresponding option when closing the program.
High-priority threads interrupt requests from lower-priority threads
Takes thread priority into account when processing requests during multithreaded project execution.
Requests from high-priority threads can interrupt requests from lower-priority threads.
Check entered data
In earlier versions, this setting checked data entered into web element fields. If a field on a website was filled twice, disabling this setting was recommended.
Reset task failures when adding attempts
Resets the task's failed execution counter when new attempts are added.
Detailed email log
Enables detailed logging of email operations.
Detailed FTP log
Enables detailed logging of FTP operations.
Detailed HTTP log
Enables detailed logging of HTTP request operations.
File change handling policy
Determines how the program handles external changes to files linked to lists and tables:
Always load changes from the file while running
The program automatically loads changes made to the linked file while the project is running.
Never load external changes while running
The program loads the file contents when the project starts, but ignores subsequent external changes.
Ask the user
When external changes are detected, the program asks for confirmation before loading them.
C# thread culture
Determines the regional settings used when executing and debugging projects, including C# blocks.
A restart is required to apply changes
The selected culture can affect the handling of:
- dates and times;
- numbers;
- decimal separators;
- other culture-dependent formats.
The Russian version of the program uses the
ru-RUculture by default.
InvariantCultureClear the input field completely and leave it empty.
