Setting up the dictionary map synchronization option for SQL Server database
backup
If you specify that the dictionary map should be updated asynchronously, you can shorten the time
required for backup command execution. If you want to shorten the time for backup command
execution, specify the following parameter.
Note that, if you specify that the dictionary map files be updated asynchronously, you need to
periodically back up the dictionary map files because they are susceptible to collapse if an unexpected
server shutdown, or similar event, occurs during command execution.
Table 21 Parameter in init.conf (dictionary map synchronization option)
Specifiable values
(default)
DescriptionParameter
YES or NO
(YES)
• Specifies whether the dictionary map should be up-
dated synchronously or asynchronously. If YES is spe-
cified, the dictionary map will be updated synchron-
ously. If NO is specified, the dictionary map will be
updated asynchronously.
• Generally, this parameter should be set to YES. If you
need to specify NO (e.g., when the time required for
backup must be reduced for a particular reason), per-
form adequate checking before starting operation.
DRM_DB_SYNC
Setting up the recovery option for SQL Server database backup
You can specify whether to check the SQL Server database integrity when the drmsqlrecover
command is executed, using the following parameter.
Table 22 Parameter in init.conf (recovery option)
Specifiable values
(default)
DescriptionParameter
YES or NO
(NO)
Specify YES if you want to check database integrity when
the drmsqlrecover command is executed. If nothing or
a value other than YES is specified, integrity will not be
checked.
SQL_CHECKDB
Even after execution of the drmsqlrecover command, you can check integrity from SQL Server
Enterprise Manager.
If YES is specified for this option, integrity after recovery will be checked using SQL Server's DBCC
CHECKDB. Note also that the DBCC CHECKDB execution time heavily depends on the database size,
including the number of indexes in the database and the number of lines per table. For further
information, see the SQL Server online help.
