This page is linked from the [[Getting Started]] Section.
The options listed on this page influence the way how database [[Commands|commands]] are executed and XQuery expressions are evaluated. Options are divided into [[#Global Options|'''global options''']], which are valid for all BaseX instances, and '''local options''', which are specific to a client or session. Values Two kinds of options are either ''strings'', ''numbers'' or ''booleans''.exist:
The {{Code|.basex}} * '''[[Configuration#Configuration FilesGlobal Options|configuration fileGlobal Options]] ''' are valid for all BaseX instances in the same JVM. This is parsed by every new local BaseX instanceparticularly relevant if you are working with the client/server architecture. It contains * '''Local options''' (all global options and, optionally, local options at the end of the fileremaining ones) are specific to a client or session.
Values of options are either ''strings'', ''numbers'' or ''booleans''. Options are ''static'' and not bound to a single operation (for example, the next command). Various ways exist to access and change options:
* The current value of an option can be requested with the {{Command|GET}} command. Local options can be changed via {{Command|SET}}. All values are ''static'': They stay valid until they are (all global options, except for {{Option|DEBUG}}, can only be changed once again by another operationat startup time). If an option is of type ''boolean'', and if no value is specified, its current value will be inverted.
* Initial values for global options can also be specified via system properties, which can eThe {{Code|.g. be passed on with the basex}} [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.htmlConfiguration#options -D flagConfiguration Files|configuration file] on command line, or using [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#setProperty(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String) System.setProperty()] before creating a is parsed by every new local BaseX instance. The It contains all global options. Local options can be specified keys need to be prefixed with at the end of the file after the {{Code|org.basex.Local Options}}. An examplecomment:
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brushperl"># General OptionsDEBUG = false... # Local OptionsCHOP = false</syntaxhighlight> * Initial values for global options can also be specified via system properties, which can e.g. be passed on with the [https:xquery//docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/java.html -D flag] on command line, or using [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#setProperty(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) System.setProperty()] before creating a BaseX instance. The specified keys need to be prefixed with {{Code|org.basex.}}. An example: <syntaxhighlight lang="perl">
java -Dorg.basex.CHOP=false -cp basex.jar org.basex.BaseX -c"get chop"
CHOP: false
</presyntaxhighlight>
* If using the Mac OS X packaged application then global options can be set within the Info.plist file within the Contents folder of the application package. For example:
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:xml">
<key>JVMOptions</key>
<array>
<string>-Dorg.basex.CHOP=false</string>
</array>
</presyntaxhighlight>
* In XQuery, local options can be set via option declarations and pragmas (see a [[XQuery ExtensionsWeb Application]]), the default can be adjusted in the {{Code|web.xml}} file as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"><context-param> <param-name>org.basex.chop</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value></context-param></syntaxhighlight> * In XQuery, local options can be set via option declarations and [[XQuery Extensions#Pragmas|pragmas]]. If options are implicitly changed by operations in the [[GUI]], the underlying commands will be listed in the [[GUI#Visualizations|Info View]].<br/><br/>

|-
| '''Default'''
|-
| '''Summary'''
|Controls Defines the locking strategy:* By default, non-fair is used. Read transactions will be favored, and transactions that access no databases can be evaluated even if local the limit of parallel transactions (databasespecified via {{Option|PARALLEL}}) or global (process) locking will has been reached. This prevents update operations from blocking all other requests. For example, the DBA can further be used for managing to see which jobs are running, even if the queue is full.* If fair locking is enabled, read and write transactions will be treated equally (first in, first out). This avoids starvation of update operations. The article on [[Transaction Management]] provides more details on concurrency control, and it should be used if the prompt evaluation of update operations is critical.

| '''Summary'''
|Specifies the maximum time a read-only transaction triggered by a client may take. If an operation takes longer than the specified timeoutnumber of seconds, it will be aborted. Write Active update operations will not be affected by this timeout, as this would corrupt the integrity of the database. The timeout is deactivated if the timeout is set to {{Code|0}}. It is ignored for operations with [[User Management|admin permissions]].

|-
| '''Summary'''
|Denotes the maximum allowed number of parallel [[Transaction Management|transactions]]:* If {{Option|FAIRLOCK}} is enabled, the number of parallel transactions will never exceed the specified value.<br/>Note * If the option is disabled (which is the default), the limit only applies to transactions that a access databases.* The main reason for allowing parallel operations is to prevent slow transactions from blocking all other operations. A higher number of parallel operations may increase disk activity and thus slow down queries. In some cases, a single transaction may even give you better results than any parallel activity. The main reason for allowing parallel operations is to prevent slow transactions from blocking all other operations.

==HTTP Services== If BaseX is run as web servlet, the HTTP options must be specified in the <code>[https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/tree/master/basex-api/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF webapp/WEB-INF]</code> directory and the {{Code|jetty.xml}} and {{Code|web.xml}} configuration files. ===WEBPATHLOGTRACE===
