AdministeringIn addition to administering the database server, you can tune performance, replicate data, and archive data.
System administrationThese topics contain concepts, procedures, and reference information for database and database server administrators to use for managing and tuning HCL OneDB™ database servers.
Administrator's ReferenceThe HCL OneDB™ Administrator's Reference includes comprehensive descriptions of HCL OneDB™ configuration parameters, the system-monitoring interface (SMI) tables in the sysmaster database, the syntax of database server utilities such as onmode and onstat, logical-log records, disk structures, event alarms, and unnumbered error messages.
Configuring and monitoring HCL OneDB™
Database configuration parametersThe HCL OneDB™ database server uses a configuration file, which is called the onconfig file, during initialization. This file contains default configuration parameter values. You can modify the parameter values to improve performance and other characteristics of the instance or database.
ONDBSPACEDOWN configuration parameterUse the ONDBSPACEDOWN configuration parameter to define the action that the database server takes when any disabling event occurs on a primary chunk within a noncritical dbspace.
Database Server Behavior When ONDBSPACEDOWN Does Not Apply

Database Server Behavior When ONDBSPACEDOWN Does Not Apply

The database server will not come online if a chunk within any critical dbspace (for example, rootdbs or logsdbs) is missing.

The value of ONDBSPACEDOWN has no effect on temporary dbspaces. For temporary dbspaces, the database server continues processing regardless of the ONDBSPACEDOWN setting. If a temporary dbspace requires fixing, you should drop and recreate it.

For a non-primary chunk within a noncritical dbspace, the behavior of the database server depends on the transaction status of the chunk when the disabling event occurs:

No transaction: If no transactions are detected against that chunk, the chunk is individually marked as down. In this case, subsequent attempts to write to that chunk fail, rolling back the associated transaction. You can safely put the chunk back and then use the onspaces -s utility to mark the chunk as back online.
Transaction detected: If there are transactions to roll forward or back, then the database server aborts with an appropriate fast recovery error. In this case, you should put the chunk back and restart the database server.
