Options for Extracting the Regional Database

This topic describes options for extracting the regional database.

Concurrently Extracting Multiple Regional Nodes

If you use Parallel Database Extract for concurrent extraction of two or more regional node databases, then make sure you specify all of the applicable regional nodes as clients in a single Parallel Database Extract job or Server Manager command. This configuration produces better performance than starting multiple Parallel Database Extract component requests or tasks that attempt to run concurrently.

Using Parallel Database Extract with Local Databases

Although it is possible to use Parallel Database Extract when extracting local databases, Parallel Database Extract might not improve performance significantly during remote client extractions, so this configuration is not recommended.

Parameters That You Can Specify When Extracting a Regional Database

Table 27 lists parameters you can specify when extracting a regional database.

Table 27. Parameters You Can Specify When Extracting a Regional Database
Parameter
Name
Required
Description

CD Directory

CDDir

Optional

The folder on the computer of the parent node where the Replication Manager writes the extract files.

Client Name

Client

Required

The name of the regional database that you enter when you register the regional node. See Defining the Regional Node.

Database Init Method

InitMethod

Required

You must set the Database Init Method parameter to DDL. If you do not set the Database Init Method parameter to DDL, then the regional database initialization will fail.

Maximum data file size

DatFileSize

Optional

Sets the maximum size of a data file in megabytes:

  • The minimum size is 1.
  • The maximum size is 1,000.
  • The default value is 500.

For Parallel Database Extract, the recommend Minimum size is 100 MB.

Language Code

Language

Optional

Extract messages for the specified language. The default value is ENU, for U.S. English.

(Specify the remote client version of Siebel)

ClientVersion

Optional

Specifies the software version of the remote client. The default value is 2000 for v7.x.

Example Folder Tree of the Parent Node

This following folder tree is an example of part of the server folder on the parent node after a Database Extract runs for regional nodes named SIEBEL_EUROPE and SIEBEL_PACIFIC:

SIEBEL
   DOCKING
      SIEBEL_EUROPE
         INBOX
         OUTBOX
      SIEBEL_PACIFIC
         INBOX
         OUTBOX

After you initialize a regional database, the folder structure on the regional node includes similar folders with more regional nodes and it includes users.
