To Enable Periodic Checking of Berkeley Databases for Deadlocks

1. Log in as an administrator with permission to change the configuration.

2. Change to the /etc/opt/SUNWics5/cal/config directory.

3. Save your old ics.conf file by copying and renaming it.

4. Edit the parameter shown in the following table:

   local.caldb.deadlock.autodetect

   Periodically checks if the Berkeley database is in a deadlock state and, if so, instructs the database to reset. The default value is “no” (not enabled).

5. Save the file as ics.conf.

6. Restart Calendar Server.

   cal-svr-base/SUNWics5/cal/sbin/start-cal
