Increase the Maximum Number of Indexed Entries in a DSA

To increase the number of entries in a DSA, insert the following command in the initialization file:

set max-cache-index-size = number-entries;

This command sets the maximum number of entries (or distinct attribute values for each attribute type) that a DSA can index.

If you leave this setting at its default value, a DSA can contain up to about 8 million entries, or about 8 million distinct attribute values. For example, if each entry had two unique telephone numbers, then by default the cache could hold only 4 million entries. Attributes that are not indexed are not affected.

You should only use this command if you are sure you need more than 8 million entries or distinct attribute values. If you set this value higher, the DSA will have bigger memory requirements, and its performance may degrade.
