Data Processing and Storage Component Configuration Properties Dialog Box: General Tab

Use the General tab to schedule updates to statistics within the SMS site database based on thresholds. When specified numbers of MIF files or discovery data records (DDRs) have been processed, the statistics are updated. In addition to the triggered updates, regularly scheduled updates can be configured as a database maintenance task.

You can also use this tab to create warning status messages for an SMS site database that fills beyond a predetermined threshold.

Update database statistics
Enables the updating of database statistics based on the number of MIF files or DDR files processed. Database statistics are used internally by SQL Server on a table-by-table basis to optimize performance.
After processing Management Information Format (MIF) files
Triggers an update after a specified number of MIF files are processed.
Number of MIFs
Number of MIF files to set. This number should be based on the number of clients that are managed by this site. To obtain a more detailed view of MIF file activity (so that you can determine appropriate baselines), you can use Performance Monitor. The default value is 500 MIF files. Valid entries range from 1 through 9999 MIF files.
After processing discovery data records (DDRs)
Triggers an update after a specified number of DDRs are processed.
Number of DDRs
Number of DDR files to set. This number should be based on the number of clients that are managed by this site. Administrators can view the detailed DDR activity by using the Windows Performance Monitor. The default is 1500 DDRs. Valid entries range from 1 through 9999 DDRS.
Create status object after database is filled to a specified amount
Enables the creation of a status warning message when the database reaches a specified capacity (measured as a percentage of the total database capacity).
Amount
Percent full at which to trigger the warning message. By default, the system creates a status warning message when the database is 80 percent full. Valid entries range from 20 percent through 99 percent.

Note    This feature does not apply in SQL Server version 7.0. If you are using SQL Server version 7.0, your database should be configured to auto-grow.
