When used with no options, SET PARTITION displays the current partitioning
settings.
Note
Changes to partition settings do not automatically take effect after a SET
PARTITION command. To enable changes:
1. Stop the ASAP Collector process.
2. Delete or rename the existing ASAP database.
3. Restart the Collector.
This re-creates the ASAP database using the new partition settings.

used to set partitioning attributes. It has the format:
{entity|DEFAULT} {file-opt} {part-num|BASE|ALL} part-opt
[, part-opt...]
entity
the name of the specific entity (for example CPU, DISK) to which the
partitioning options apply. To set default properties for all entities, use
DEFAULT. These defaults are used when an entity does not have explicit
partitioning attributes configured.
file-opt
is one of:
{ TYPE type-value }
{ REFRESH refresh-value }
type-value { KEYSEQUENCED | RELATIVE }
Define the ASAP historical database type for the entity as a key-
sequenced or relative file type. Use TYPE RELATIVE for higher
performance on databases with longer records, for example APP
(ASAPX) databases with many attributes. If RELATIVE then partitioning
is not allowed. As of ASAP 3.0, the default for DBTCP is RELATIVE, all
others default to TYPE KEYSEQUENCED.
refresh-value { ON | OFF }
Turns ON or OFF the REFRESH EOF attribute for the entity's database.
Use REFRESH OFF for higher performance on all databases. As of
ASAP 3.0, the default for DBTCP is OFF, all others are ON.
