Configuring the System for the CBS

JDBC Connector Service Parameters

Adapt the following JDBC connector service parameters:

If you are running CBS on a Java EE cluster, several server nodes must be considered. For simplicity, Server <node> is used as a placeholder for the various server nodes in the course of this section.

Database Parameters

Both the CBS and DTR use a database for data storage. Therefore it is very important that enough disk space is available for database data and logs.

Check during operation if there is still enough space for the data volume and log volume to grow.

With regard to data volume and log volume, (at least) two cases have to be distinguished:

• Database is used for CBS only: In this case, a data volume size of two GB is sufficient as the start size.

  However, the proposed value for the data volume is not sufficient if a very large number of components are built on the CBS. The log volume for CBS is not as critical as for DTR.

• Database is used for CBS and DTR: If both CBS and DTR use the same database for data storage, the data volume should be at least five GB as the start size.

  However, the proposed value for the data volume is not sufficient if a very large number of components are built on CBS and a very large number of files are stored in the DTR.

  Note

  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 properly and to perform regular backups to prevent any loss of data in case of system failures.

  For best performance and safety, the database log volumes should be located on other physical disks than the data volumes and the CBS temp folder.

Proposed Database Parameters

The database parameters for the supported database platforms correspond to the settings required for the Design Time Repository. For more information, see Database Settings for DTR and NWDI .

Data/Log Volume

You can increase the data / log volume by creating a new volume. The volume size can be changed at creation time only. If the data volume size and data log size are exceeded, CBS will not work correctly, as access to the database will fail (especially when new data is inserted into the database).
