Modifying Database Parameters

A message informs you that the Virtual Network Data Server user account and all data will be deleted by this script.

Step 9 Click Enter to continue.

Note When you run this script for the first time, several SQL error messages appear. You can ignore these messages. The messages are the result of the script trying to remove Virtual Network Data Server table and user accounts that do not exist prior to this script being run for the first time.

This SQL script configures database storage for use by Virtual Network Data Server and sets up the user account. After the script finishes, the Oracle account information for Virtual Network Data Server is the user name and password from Table A-1 on page A-6.

Step 10 Type quit to exit sqlplus.

Alog of script actions is saved to <install_dir>\setup_accounts.<timestamp>.log.

A log of database analysis results is saved to <install_dir>\analyzedb.<timestamp>.log.

If the setup_accounts script recommended changing your database settings during Step 4, and you agree with the recommended changes, perform the “Modifying Database Parameters” procedure on page A-9now.

If you do not need to change your database settings or choose not to change them, perform the “Verifying the Oracle Configuration” procedure on page A-10; this procedure helps you verify that Oracle is configured correctly for use with Virtual Network Data Server.

Modifying Database Parameters

This optional procedure is performed on the database host system. The database parameter changes produced by this script improve product performance when working with large networks and will increase Oracle memory requirements.

Note This procedure only applies to Oracle 9i users. Work with your Database Administrator to run this script.

Modifying Database Parameters

 

Step 1

Type sqlplus system/<system_password> in a command window on the database host system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

If the Oracle database is not on the same host system as Virtual Network Data Server, connect

 

 

 

 

to the remote database using the methods described in Step 1 of the “Configuring the Oracle

 

 

 

 

Database” procedure on page A-7.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2

At the sqlplus prompt, type @dbparamchg.sql

 

 

A message shows the path to the Oracle spfile that contains the parameters for your database.

 

Step 3

Make a backup copy of the spfile at the path specified in the previous step.

 

Step 4

Click Enter as many times as needed to step through information messages produced by this script.
