UC_ILM_SETTINGS - Settings for Partitioning with ILM

This variableIt stores or retrieves values dynamically at runtime. An individual Automation Engine object type. includes the settings for ILMStands for Information Lifecycle Management, which refers to a wide-ranging set of strategies for administering storage systems on computing devices. functionality.

Key

Value

Restart required

ACT_CONTAINER

Number of the active container

Allowed values: "1" - "999"

No
ACT_PARTITION

Current partition number

The Automation EngineThis component drives an Automation Engine system and consists of different types of server processes. counts the partitions used for installing ILM and increases this value by "1" with each partition change.

No
ACTIVE

ILM statusThis represents the condition of a task (such as active, blocked, generating).

Allowed values: "Y" and "N"

"Y" - ILM is active, i.e. new partitions are created and switch-outs (only MS SQL Server) are performed.
"N" - ILM is not active, i.e. no partition change or switch-out (only MS SQL Server) is made.

No
CALENDAR

Calendar that includes the days on which the partition should be changed.

Format:

Calendar objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task/calendar keywordThe attribute of a Calendar object that defines which days included in the calendar.

The partition is changed at 00:00 on the days specified in the calendar keyword. The TimeZone of system clientA closed environment within an Automation Engine system where you can create and run objects. A client name consists of a 4-digit number that must be indicated when a user logs on to the Automation Engine system. Users and their rights are also defined in clients. A particular Automation Engine object type. 0000 serves as the time basis.

No
EXECUTE_ON_FAILURE

Object that should be activated if an error occurs.

The following script variables can be read from the read buffer:

The object is searched for and activated in all clients except for system client 0000. No activation is allowed in this client.

No
EXECUTE_ON_SUCCESS

Object that should be activated if an ILM action was successful

 The following script variables can be read from the read buffer:

  • ILM_ACTION# - action in which an error occurred
    The script variable can contain the following values:
    "ADD_PARTITION": partition change
    "CHECK": check for data records of active tasks in the partition
    "DROP": deletion of a partition
    "SWITCH_OUT": switch-out of the oldest partition (only MS SQL Server)
  • ILM_PARTITION_NAME# - name of the affected partition

The object is searched for and activated in all clients except for system client 0000. No activation is allowed in this client.

No
LOGIN

Name of a Login object that includes the database userIn the Automation Engine, a user is an instance of a User object, and generally the user is a specific person who works with Automic products. The User object is assigned a user ID and then a set of access rights to various parts of the Automation Engine system and product suite. These access rights come in the form of Automation Engine authorizations and privileges, Decision user roles and EventBase rights and ARA web application object rights. You can manage all these centrally in the ECC user management functions. See also, Unified user management. to be used for executing ILM actions.

In the Login object, select the hostComputer, target system. type "DB".

The Login object must be stored in system client 0000.

The database user specified in the Login object must have permission to read the following system tables: 

  • ALL_TAB_PARTITIONS
  • ALL_CONSTRAINTS
  • ALL_PART_INDEXES
  • ALL_INDEXES
No
ONLINE_PARTITIONS

Number of online partitions.

Allowed values: "1" - "999"

No
RETRY_MAX_COUNT

Maximum number of attempts to change the partition until ILM is automatically deactivated.

Allowed values: "1" - "3200"
Default value: "3"

No
RETRY_TIME

Time (in minutes) to wait between attempts to change the partition (RETRY_MAX_COUNT).

Allowed values: "1" - "3200"
Default value: "10"

No
SCHEMA_OWNER

Name of the user who created the AE database.

This parameter is required for Oracle databases only.

Note that this parameter is case-sensitive.

The Automation Engine assumes that there is no further AE installationation within the Oracle instance and that all tables within this instance are unique if no user is indicated.

No
STATISTIC_TIME

Time delay in minutes for the statistical update after the partition has been changed (only Oracle).

Allowed values: "0" - "1400"
Default value: "15"

Value "0" has the effect that no statistical update is made.

No
TIMEOUT

Maximum time in seconds that the Automation Engine is stopped before the partition is changed.

Allowed values: "60" - "32000"
Default value: "3600"

When it is time to change the partition, processing in the AE system comes to a halt and waits until all work processes have ended their ongoing database transactions. The key TIMEOUT is decisive for the maximum waiting time. No new partition can be created if this period of time is exceeded.

No

Description

This variable is supplied in system client 0000. Its settings apply to the whole AE system and can only be modified in client 0000.

It contains the settings for partitioning with ILM.
