Hi,

InfoCenter on Backup: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocente ... super.html

Disk Space requirements from the web: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... #diskspace

Note that you will need to allocate an Information Analyzer Database (IADB), and create an ODBC connection. The scripts to create the IADB are on the install media in ..\is-suite\DatabaseSupport. Instructions are in the InfoCenter at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocente ... up_ia.html

You shouldn't need a lot of extra space for XMETA, especially if you already use shared metadata for other InfoSphere components. You would just let the tablespaces grow as per the current setup.

IADB space will depend entirely on how much you are profiling and how unique the values within columns are (ie: primary keys are the most expensive as far as IADB space go). Look to set aside around 5x the size of the data you intend to profile.

Running a lot of data rules could also require a reasonable amount of space, especially if you want to set them to store all results and not just the failures.

Hi

Thanks for your reply .back up every thing using the automation tool looks complex. Is there any other way so that we only select back up files need (send me list of imp config files)


Is it possible to change the location of IADB .bec we have DB2 and xmeta is on oracle.

We plan to keep the possibility to reboot only IA engine other than Datastage engine, since we expect IA crashes more often.

Install IA engine on a separated server, but using the same Websphere and Xmeta Database .

Has anyone done so, any particular points to be aware of ?
