Modifying configuration keywords for the NIS workspace

After creating the data files, modify the DBTUNE to include a new configuration keyword. Based on this new keyword, the data and database objects will be stored in the FileGroups location that was previously defined. The DBTUNE table is stored in the geodatabase in SQL Server. To modify the DBTUNE, it's necessary to export the DBTUNE into a text file and make modifications in the text file. After the updates to the text file are made, import the new DBTUNE from the text file.

Note:

Copying and pasting the examples may cause syntax errors.

1. Export the dbtune file before making any modifications.
   1. Start ArcCatalog.

      Tip:

      You can also export using ArcMap.

   2. Click the ArcToolbox button on the Standard toolbar.
   3. Expand Data Management Tools > Geodatabase Administration.
   4. Double-click Export Geodatabase Configuration Keywords.

      The Export Geodatabase Configuration Keywords dialog box appears.

   5. Click the browse folder for the Input Database Connection parameter and browse to the connection file for the enterprise geodatabase you want to export.
   6. Click the browse folder for the Output File parameter and browse to the path where the file will be exported.
   7. Name the file dbtune_exp.txt and click Save.
   8. Click OK on the Export Geodatabase Configuration Keywords dialog box.
2. Copy dbtune_exp.txt to dbtune_<Database Name>.txt.
3. Using a file-based editor, modify the ##DEFAULTS configuration keywords to control in which FileGroup the tables and indexes will be created.

   Note:

   If your geodatabase only stores the NIS workspace, the dbtune_<Database Name>.txt file can be opened in a text editor where you can manually edit the ##DEFAULTS configuration keyword; otherwise, create a new configuration keyword using the following example.

   dbtune_nis.sde
