Database Allocation Management

You may need to increase your disk allocation because of a file full condition caused by one or more of the following situations:

• An increase in frequency of product updates
• Installation of new products
• A CA CSM upgrade

A change to your disk allocation for your CA Datacom/MSM data areas and indexes may have occurred due to one or more of the following reasons:

• An internal automatic execution of the CA Datacom/MSM Dynamic Extend function
• A manual execution of the CA Datacom/MSM DBUTLTY EXTEND function
• You performed the following:
  • Ran a CA Datacom/MSM data area backup
  • Deleted associated CA Datacom/MSM data area data set
  • Reallocated data set
  • Ran the CA Datacom/MSM DBUTLTY INIT LOAD to reload the data area

Note: We recommend that you ensure the disk allocation for all of your CA CSM database data sets are at least equal to the current allocation at your site.

To successfully manage your disk allocation, you need to perform the following procedures:

1. Determine the current disk allocations for your existing CA CSM database data sets.
2. Adjust CA Datacom/MSM disk space allocation before starting the CA CSM upgrade.
3. Monitor data record growth over time, and based on the results, adjust CA Datacom/MSM disk space after CA CSM is functional.
