Issue/Introduction

When the DXgrid datastore is created, the size of it is fixed. When the datastore fills up, there is a way that you can extend it (increase it's size). The DXtool is called "dxextenddb".

Environment

Release:
Component: ETRDIR

Resolution

When a DXgrid datastore reaches 100% full (or close to), you can increase the size of the datastore by using the DXtool called "dxextenddb". The process for extending a datastore is as follows:

1. Shutdown the DSA by using the following command
   
   % dxserver stop {dsaName}
   
   
2. Edit the dxgrid-db-size parameter within the DSA's initialization file (DXHOME/config/servers/{dsaName.dxi})
   
   Eg. If you want to extend it by 100 MB
   
   Change "set dxgrid-db-size = 500;" to "set dxgrid-db-size = 600;"
   
   
3. Run "dxextenddb {dsaName}"
   
   
4. Restart the DSA by using the following command
   
   % dxserver start {dsaName}

Once the DXgrid datastore has been extended and restarted, you can continue adding or modifying entries.
