Description

Default Value

 

 

 

DatabaseName

 

This parameter specifies the name of the database.

InQMyDB

IndexFileBlockSize

 

This parameter specifies the block size of the Index file.

255 bytes

DataFileBlockSize

 

This parameter specifies the block size of the Data file.

128 bytes

RecoveryFileBlockSize

 

This parameter specifies the block size of the Recovery file.

32768 bytes

DataFilePoolSize

Specifies the size of the pool that contains opened file pointers to the Data file. It denotes the maximum number of threads that can write/read data concurrently to and from the file.

 

30

RecoveryFilePoolSize

Specifies the size of the pool that contains opened file pointers to the Recovery file. It denotes the maximum number of threads that can write/read data concurrently to and from the file.

 

30

IndexFilePoolSize

Specifies the size of the pool that contains opened file pointers to the Index file. It denotes the maximum number of threads that can write/read data concurrently to and from the file.

 

30

CacheMinSize

 

Specifies the minimum number of pages in cache.

1000

CacheMaxSize

Specifies the maximum number of pages in cache. If the value is set to –1, all pages are put in cache until Memory Manager notifies that there is not enough memory.

 

2000

AllowedFragmentation

Specifies the percentage value of fragmentation allowed.

 

69%

IndexCachePages

Specifies the number of pages to be stored in the Index cache.

 

50

IndexBlocksPerPage

Specifies the number of blocks that an Index page contains.

 

250

CacheCriticalMemoryLevel

 

Specifies the level of memory usage at which the cache is cleared.

4

MachineCapacity

Specifies the capacity of the particular machine. The greater the value, the more powerful the machine.

 

100

MemoryOnly

Specifies if database uses only memory without storing information on the hard disk drive.

 

no

BackupOnStart

Specifies if database backup is made on server startup.

 

no

Note: Whether a server element functions as primary or non-primary server depends on the value of DependentElement property of Cluster Manager. For information on this property, refer to Managers Administration Reference section of this manual.

Console Administrator

DBMS Service can be administered using the Shell commands from the DBMS command group as well.

Note: For information on DBMS shell commands, refer to the Shell  Commands Reference section.

Property Files

../cluster/server/services/dbms/properties
DBMS Service properties specified in the Visual Administrator  section can be set from this property file as well.

Critical Information and Troubleshooting Tips

The default values for the properties are selected to provide a high-level service. However, different values can be set to improve the performance of the service depending on what the database is used for (that is, reading or writing) and the hardware profile of the machine. For example, if there is enough memory available, CacheMaxSize may be increased so that direct disk usage is reduced.
