AE DB Reorg

helplib=

The name of the message file.

Helpcache=

The availability of the message and language dependent strings.

Allowed values: "ALL" (default value), "NONE", "CONTROLS"

"ALL" = The entire message file is kept in the RAM.
"NONE" = The message file is always read from the hard drive.
"CONTROLS" = All language dependent strings which are required . for displaying a Dialog program are held in the RAM .

language=

The language that the login window suggests by default.

Allowed values: "E" (default), "D", "F"
"D" = German
"F" = French
"E" = English

The language that you select when you log on affects the utility's interface and the log-file messages. When you select several languages here, the first language is used as the default language.

logging=

The path and the file name of the log file.

The number characters are used as place holders for consecutive numbering. When you start the utility, the log files are renamed so that the current log file always shows the number "00".

logcount=

The number of stored log files.

cmd=

The command line command for starting the utility.

path=

The start path for the utility.

title=

This parameter serves internal purpose in the utility. The value must not be changed.

The utility processes the data records block by block. This parameter specifies the block size (number of data records).

Default value: 200 000

[ENVIRONMENT]

classpath=

The path and the file name of the archive for layout files.

[REORG]

no_archive_check=

Archiving check.

"0" = Checks if data has been archived before.
"1" = There is no such check.

auto_reorg=

The maximum age of the data records in days.

Allowed values: "0" to "32767"
Default value: 365 days

All data records that are older than specified in this parameter are reorganized except the parameter no_archive_check= has been set to value "0". In this case, the utility only reorganizes the data records which have previously been archived.

In both cases, auto_reorg= overrules the settings that are made in the utility's interface (such as the reorganization of messages that are older than n days) when fewer days are specified in the INI-file parameter. The lower value always overrules the higher value.

For example:

auto_reorg = 183

All data records will be reorganized when you use the value "0".

[TRACE]

file=

The path and the file name of the trace file.

The number characters are used as place holders for consecutive numbering. When you start the agent, the log files are renamed so that the current log file always shows the number "00".

trccount=

The number of the stored trace files.

database=

The trace flag for the utility's database access.

Allowed values: "0" (default value) to "9"

Trace flags must only be used in close cooperation with Automic Support.

[ODBC]

SQLDRIVERCONNECT=

The connection for the database.

ODBCVAR - Eight-digit command field for controlling database accesses

1. Position = N - Do not use server cursor.
1. Position = S - Use server cursor (MS SQL Server 2000).
2. Position = N - Do not reestablish database connection after 1000 commits.
2. Position = D - Disconnects the database after 1000 commits (perhaps due to memory problems).
3. Position = N - Field names are compared case-sensitively (Oracle).
3. Position = J - Field names are compared case-insensitively (Oracle).
4. Position = N - Not used.
5. Position = N - The type of the database connection: ODBC.
5. Position = I - The type of the database connection: OCI/CLI.
6. Position = N - Database access without the User ID.
6. Position = O - Database access with the User ID.
7. Position = N - Compression is deactivated.
7. Position = R - Compression is activated.
8. Position = The type of SQL syntax; N - MS SQL Server.
8. Position = The type of SQL syntax; O - Oracle.
8. Position = The type of SQL syntax; D - DB2.

DSN - The alias name of the database connection.
UID - The User ID for the database access.
PWD - The password for the database access. Should always (also "") be encoded. See: Encoding passwords

Only for ORACLE:
The code-page settings must correspond to those of the database. Automic recommends using the variable NLS_LANG or the parameter SP=.

Syntax:
SP=NLS_LANGUAGE=language,NLS_TERRITORY=area,CODESET=character set,RECONNECT=interval,commit_write='BATCH,NOWAIT'

RECONNECT refers to the frequency that should be used to re-establish the database connection. This parameter is given priority even if a "D" is set in the 2nd digit of ODBCVAR (see above).

Automic recommends using the parameter commit_write='BATCH,NOWAIT' in order to increase performance.

For example:
(Two lines are used for the connection parameters for lack of space. In the INI file, you should only use one line).

SQLDRIVERCONNECT=ODBCVAR=NNJNIORO,DSN=UC4;UID=uc4;PWD=--1037B2E22BF022EBE2;
SP=NLS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN,NLS_TERRITORY=AMERICA,CODESET=WE8ISO8859P15,commit_write='BATCH,NOWAIT'

Only for DB2:

Use "N" on the 6. position in the connection string, when the UID for database access is a domain user.
