Data Archive Requirements for the ILM Repository

Data Archive Requirements for the ILM Repository

The ILM repository is a collection of database objects stored in a single database user or schema, usually called AMHOME. The objects are stored in the data tablespace and index tablespace.
You can create the ILM repository on Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or IBM DB2.
You can create the ILM repository database user and tablespaces before you install or you can let the installer create them. You must use the same method to create them. For example, if you create the ILM repository database user before you install, you must also create the tablespaces before you install.
During the installation, you specify the data connection information to create or access the ILM repository. Use the admin user or any other database user that has the required privileges.
The following table describes the ILM repository tablespace requirements:
Tablespace
Tablespace Size
Data
Default is AM_DATA.
3 GB
Index
Default is AM_INDEX.
3 GB
Rollback
1 GB
Temporary
2 GB

IBM DB2 Requirements

You can create tablespaces for the ILM repository before the installation. If you do not create the tablespaces manually before the installation, the installer creates them when it creates the ILM repository. Use the following guidelines when you set up the ILM repository on IBM DB2:
  • Create the ILM repository schema, and grant authorization to a user.
    For example, use the following syntax to create the ILM repository schema: 
    CREATE SCHEMA <schema> AUTHORIZATION <user>
    To create the
    AMHOME
     schema and grant authorization to the
    ILMUSER
     user, use the following sample syntax: 
    CREATE SCHEMA AMHOME AUTHORIZATION ILMUSER
  • Create the tablespaces.
    Set the tablespace page sizes and the buffer pool page sizes to at least 32 KB. Set the page sizes to the same value. The tablespaces must not be partitioned.
    For example, use the following syntax to create a tablespace: 
    CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE <tablespace name> 
PAGESIZE 32K
MANAGED BY DATABASE
USING( FILE '/db2fs/db2inst1/NODE0000/DB2/T0000000/<tablespace name>’ 3145728K )
BUFFERPOOL AM32KBFPL
    To create the
    ILMTS
     tablespace, use the following sample syntax: 
    CREATE REGULAR TABLESPACE ILMTS
PAGESIZE 32K
MANAGED BY DATABASE
USING( FILE '/db2fs/db2inst1/NODE0000/DB2/T0000000/ILMTS’ 3145728K )
BUFFERPOOL AM32KBFPL
  • Grant the user access to the tablespaces.
    For example, use the following syntax to grant the user access to a tablespace: 
    GRANT USE OF TABLESPACE <tablespace name> to <user>
    To grant the
    ILMUSER
     to the
    ILMTS
     tablespace, use the following sample syntax: 
    GRANT USE OF TABLESPACE ILMTS to ILMUSER

Microsoft SQL Server Requirements

If you create the ILM repository on Microsoft SQL Server, the Admin user must have the SYSADMIN role.
If you create the Data Archive server repository on a Microsoft SQL Server, set the Database Collation property value to CASE INSENSITIVE.
