Parameters

Note

Parameters marked in bold below are mandatory. Others are optional and have default values.

Parameter	Description
name	Name of the account. Provide a name to the account.
sub_account_creation	This parameter is set to use the account plan. By default, it is set to false. Possible values are true and false with the following implications: Setting the value to true implies that the new account uses the parent account’s plan. The default value set to false implies that the new account uses Qubole’s free trial-period plan.
idle_cluster_timeout_in_secs	After enabling the aggressive downscaling feature on the QDS account, the Cluster Idle Timeout can be configured in seconds. Its minimum configurable value is 300 seconds and the default value would still remain 2 hours (that is 120 minutes or 7200 seconds). Note This feature is only available on a request. Contact the account team to enable this feature on the QDS account.
idle_session_timeout	If there is no activity on the UI, Qubole logs you out after a specified interval. The default value is 1440 minutes (24 hours). Use this option to configure the time interval in minutes if you do not want the default idle session timeout. The maximum value is 10800 minutes (1 week).
