When a report query is run, the Millennium server machine acquires a user license for the process. The user license is released after the data has been accumulated. This setting determines if the data accumulation process should occupy an extra license or not. The three choices are:
Accumulate in the background
If this option is chosen, the user can start more than one data accumulation process, or do other work in the application while the process is running. This method requires an additional user license, i.e. while the process is running your session uses two user licenses. If you start another data accumulation process, a third license will be required, etc.
Should there be no available license in your Login Group you will get an error message when you start the query:
Always accumulate in the foreground
If this option is chosen, the user can start only one data accumulation process, and cannot do other work in the application while the process is running. This method requires no additional user license. While the query is running a progress report displays:
Ask each time
If this option is chosen, each time the user starts a data accumulation process, Millennium Statistics asks if the process should run in the background (which allows multiple processes). If you answer "Yes", and there is no license available in your Login Group, you will get an error message when you start the query. If so, you can start the process again, and choose to run in the foreground (which allows one process only) by answering "No" to the question.
