Key

Value

Container number

Allowed values: "1" - "999"

MS SQL Server: Name of a file group

The file group name must not exceed 200 characters.

Oracle: Name of a tablespace

Description

These variables are supplied in client 0000. Their settings apply globally for the whole AE system and must only be changed in client "0000".

The data records which are stored with ILM in partitions can be divided into three categories. There is a separate variable for each of them:

UC_ILM_CONTAINER_STATISTICS - statistical records
UC_ILM_CONTAINER_REPORT - reports
UC_ILM_CONTAINER_MISC - messages, data for the Revision Report and for the Open Interface to Output Management Systems

The utility AE.DB Load automatically fills these variables with data during the ILM installation.

A container corresponds to a partition.

Example for UC_ILM_CONTAINER_STATISTICS:

Key	Value
1	UC4_DATA_STATISTICS_1
2	UC4_DATA_STATISTICS_2
3	UC4_DATA_STATISTICS_3

We assume that three partitions should be online. The Automation Engine starts to store the data records in container "1". After a partition change, the data records are stored in container "2" etc. After container "3", the Automation Engine starts again with container "1".

The variable UC_ILM_SETTINGS contains the number of the current container in its key ACT_CONTAINER.

Important notes:

All three variables must have the same number of entries. It is not possible to use five partitions for statistical records but only three for reports.
You can specify the number of online partitions in the variable UC_ILM_SETTINGS, key ONLINE_PARTITIONS. The number of existing partitions must be at least the same number of partitions that should be online.
