Defining the Database Space Trigger
To define settings for the database
trigger, first complete the following fields and then click Finish,
or click Cancel to end the task. The trigger determines when and
how Tivoli Storage Manager deals with space shortages in the database.
DB Full Percentage
Enter the utilization percentage that specifies when Tivoli Storage Manager automatically
allocates more space for your database.
-
Specify an integer from 0 to 99.
-
A value of zero (0) disables the space trigger.
-
The default is 80.
DB Space Expansion Percentage
Enter the percentage by which Tivoli Storage Manager expands the database.
-
Specify an integer from 0 to 200.
-
The database requires a minimum value of 4MB
(5MB file with processing space).
-
Expansions are in units of 9MB.
-
A value of zero (0) disables expansion.
-
The default is 20.
DB Expansion Prefix
Enter the prefix that Tivoli Storage Manager will use in creating files to expand the database.
The database expansion prefix is a valid directory path meeting the following
criteria:
-
The maximum length is 250 characters for AIX,
HP-UX, and Sun Solaris; 200 characters for Windows NT. This is not an option
for for MVS
or VM.
-
The prefix name may include one or more directory separator characters.
-
Tivoli Storage Manager does not check the prefix name for validity. If you specify an incorrect
prefix, automatic expansion can fail.

DB Maximum Size (Megabytes)
Enter an integer that specifies the maximum size of the database.

Specifying a value of zero (0) or omitting this parameter disables checking
for maximum size.
