Database Settings for DTR and NWDI

Use

The values of the parameters for the Design Time Repository (DTR) in the following table are the minimum requirements if the used AS Java is running the DTR server application only.

Database Platform

Cache Size

Maximum number of simultaneous line locks

Maximum number of currently active connections.

MaxDB

CACHE_SIZE = 500 MB

MAXLOCKS = 300000

MAXUSERTASKS = 50

Microsoft SQL Server

max server memory = 500 MB

Locks = 0 (unlimited)

user connections = 0 (unlimited)

Oracle

(Primary data cache) DB_CACHE_SIZE = 48 MB

Max: unlimited

N/A

(unlimited)

PROCESSES = 80, SESSIONS = 96

Max: unlimited (2^31)

IBM DB2 for i5/OS

No global parameter

Set parameter BP = 5000 (16k pages)

LOCKLIST = 50 (4k pages = 200k)

MAXAPPLS = AUTOMATIC (unlimited)

IBM i5/OS

System managed; covered by system sizing process.

Not configurable. System limit: 500 million

Not configurable. (Configure JDBC connection pool of AS Java instead.)

Database Logs and Backups

Since the DTR is the primary storage for source code in the NWDI and all DTR data is stored in the database, it is vital to set up database logs and regular backups properly to prevent any loss of data in case of system failures.
