Re: [nv-l] TDW Database creation

["Christopher J Petrina" <cjp8@meadwestvaco.com>]

We are using NV 7.1.4 FP 1 on AIX 5.2
throiugh researching issues with TDW,
we have found that the TDW GUI installation uses SMS (System Management
Storage) and not DMS (Database Management Storage)  Much less efficient.
 Also it places the database structure in the home file system, we
have a specific file structure system we want to use.   But since
I have no where to add or change where the database writes to, I cannot
change it to optimize the performance of our AIX boxes and how we have
them created and defined specifically for the NETVIEW TDW Operational database.

The NetView warehouse database is a DB2 based database. Whether your database
server is remote or local with respect to the NetView Server, you still
need to have a DB2 instance created locally. It is the DB2 instance that
controls where the databases (all of them) are stored, not the tdwdaemon
GUI config panel or the underlying database schema scripts.

Optimization of the entire instance or individual databases can be performed
after the database is created. What kind of optimization were you talking
about that might need you to alter the database schema scripts ?

What exactly do you find limiting about the setup GUI ? What version of
NetView are you using ? What platform ?

Subject	[nv-l] TDW  Database creation

Greetings all, 

  Have a question on the TDWDAEMON set up. 

The GUI setup is very limiting in the creation of the Netview Operational
database for TDW.   Is there a way that I can create the database
myself and then start the tdwdaemon? 
  Which schema and/or scripts are being called when the GUI executes.
The setup installs the database in the home directory of the db user.  There
is no optimizing of the database.   
We do not give much space in the home directory file structure, and we
have specific file tructures for databases that we would like to use.

-Thank you
