The Object Store Database

A total of 22 files comprise the aws_sadmin object store database. These files (found within directory $AGENTWORKS_DIR/services/var/aws_sadmin) can be categorized into the following groups:

• Objects table-6 files prefixed with OBJECTS
• Titles table-6 files prefixed with PROPTH
• Properties table-6 files prefixed with PROPVH
• Votree table-4 files prefixed with VOTREE

The size of these files depends on the following:

• The number of MIBs loaded in the object store
• The size and number of configuration sets loaded in the store
• The number of agent instances currently running

To minimize the number of EXCPs used to access the object store, the following parameters have been added to the aws_sadmin startup command. The startup of the aws_sadmin service can be found in file awservices.cfg, within directory services/config/awservices.

-x <cache-size for the objects table>

-y <cache-size for the properties table>

-z <cache-size for the votree table>

Note: No parameter has been established for the Titles table because the default value should be adequate for all sites. All cache sizes are expressed in KB. When left unspecified, the default value for all three parameters is 1024.
