Database File Size Considerations

Be conservative when deciding how much space to allocate for the CA View database. It is much easier to increase the size of a database by allocating more extents than it is to reduce the size of a database. The CA View database can be expanded when the product is running to avoid downtime.

Business Value:

Using a minimal amount of disk space for initial CA View database files will contribute to optimal system performance and cost-effective DASD utilization, without impacting active processing operations.

More Information:

Detailed information and formulas for database file size estimation is located in the chapter “Database Utilities”, in the SARDBASE ADDDS section of the CA View Reference Guide.
