Adding a configuration keyword to the DBTUNE (Modifying DBTUNE)

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 under the geodatabase in SQL Server. To modify the DBTUNE, it's necessary to export the DBTUNE into a text file and then make modifications in the text file. After the updates to the text file are made, import the new DBTUNE from the text file.

Create a new DBTUNE keyword following these steps.

Note:

Copying and pasting the examples may cause syntax errors.

1. Export the dbtune file before making any modifications.
   1. Open ArcCatalog.
   2. Open ArcToolbox.
   3. Open the Geodatabase Administration toolset in Data Management Tools toolbox.
   4. Open the Export Geodatabase Configuration Keywords tool.
   5. Browse to the database connection for Input Database Connection
   6. Specify dbtune_exp.txt for Output File.
   7. Click OK.
2. Copy dbtune_exp.txt to dbtune_wmx.txt.
3. Using a file-based editor, modify the ##DEFAULTS configuration keywords to control in which FileGroup the tables and indexes will be created.

   If your database only stores the Workflow Manager repository, the dbtune_wmx.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_wmx.txt
   
   ##DEFAULTS
   A_INDEX_RASTER             "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_AINDEX"
   A_INDEX_ROWID              "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_AINDEX"
   A_INDEX_SHAPE              "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_AINDEX"
   A_INDEX_STATEID            "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_AINDEX"
   A_INDEX_USER               "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_AINDEX"
   A_INDEX_XML                "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_AINDEX"
   A_STORAGE                  "ON WMX_ADATA"

   B_INDEX_ROWID              "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_BINDEX"
   B_INDEX_SHAPE              "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_BINDEX"
   B_INDEX_TO_DATE            "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_BINDEX"
   B_INDEX_USER               "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_BINDEX"
   B_INDEX_XML                "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_BINDEX"
   B_STORAGE                  "ON WMX_BDATA"
   D_INDEX_ALL                "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_DINDEX"
   D_INDEX_DELETED_AT         "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_DINDEX"
   D_STORAGE                  "ON WMX_DDATA"
   F_INDEX_AREA               "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_FINDEX"
   F_INDEX_FID                "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_FINDEX"
   F_INDEX_LEN                "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_FINDEX"
   F_STORAGE                  "ON WMX_FDATA"
   GEOMETRY_STORAGE           "GEOMETRY"
   GEOMTAB_PK                 "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_FINDEX"
   GEOMTAB_STORAGE            "ON WMX_FDATA"
   I_STORAGE                  "ON WMX_FDATA"
   S_INDEX_ALL                "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_SINDEX"
   S_INDEX_SP_FID             "WITH FILLFACTOR = 75 ON WMX_SINDEX"
   S_STORAGE                  "ON WMX_SDATA"
   END
   

4. Import the modified dbtune_wmx.txt file.
   1. Open ArcCatalog.
   2. Open ArcToolbox.
   3. Open the Geodatabase Administration toolset in Data Management Tools toolbox.
   4. Open the Import Geodatabase Configuration Keywords tool.
   5. Browse to the database connection for Input Database Connection
   6. Browse to the dbtune_wmx.txt for Input File.
   7. Click OK.
