Chapter 8. Maintaining the XMA Database

8.3 Resizing the Data Tables
The two tables in question are the Audit Session (AUDSESS) and Audit Detail
(AUDDET) tables. Both of these tables also have indexes. These are the two tables
that contain the consolidated audit information.
8.3.1 Default Table Sizes
The default sizing for these tables as of v1.60 is as follows:
AUDDET EXTENT (1024,1024)
MAXEXTENTS 900
AUDSESS EXTENT (512,512)
MAXEXTENTS 900
8.3.2 Sizing Methods
There are a number of ways to ensure that your XMA tables are sized correctly for
your operation.
At Installation Time
Installing XMA is a two-step operation. One of the files created during the first part of
the installation is called SAMPTBLS. Edit this file and modify the extents and such,
before
you run XMA_MANAGER for the first time. The information in SAMPTBLS is
duplicated to a file named NEWTBLS.
After Installation — Method 1
Partitioning the AUDSESS and AUDDED files will give them more room to grow. To
assist in this process there is a file in the XYGATEMA subvolume called PARSAMP. It
contains the instructions and SQLCI commands needed to create the partitions and
move your existing data to the appropriate partition.
After Installation — Method 2
The second method involves creating new, larger tables and moving the existing data.
For information regarding the SQLCI commands, refer to the NonStop SQL/MP
Reference Manual.
1. Stop the XMA Pathway servers via Pathcom, or the XMA_MANAGER.
2. Using the SQLCI RENAME command, rename the existing tables.
3. Create the new tables.
The Definitions for the tables are found in the file NEWTBLS. The chapter names are
AUDSESS and AUDDET. It is suggested that you copy these two chapters from
NEWTBLS into a separate obey file. Alter the primary and secondary extent allocation
to the desired values.
