Description

Data Source Name Name

You must assign a unique name for the new data source. The name can be a maximum of 128 characters (any characters) without leading or trailing spaces. Leading or trailing spaces are automatically removed before the name is sent to the server. The name in lowercase, containing embedded spaces or quotes is delimited by MXDM.

MXCS Services Name

Enter the name of the required service which you want to associate with the server data source. To enter multiple services, enter the service names separated by a space.

Or, click browse icon. The Add MXCS Services window appears. Select the names of the services which you want to associate with a data source and click OK.

Start Mode Automatic

Specifies that MXCS automatically starts up the initial MXCS servers for the data source when the MXCS service is started.

Manual

You must manually start up the MXCS servers for the data source when the MXCS service is in the Started state. This value is the default.

Performance Server Idle Timeout

Specifies the number of minutes that an MXCS server remains idle before it stops. This timeout occurs only under the following conditions:

  • The idle server is not connected to a client.

  • The number of servers exceeds the number of idle servers configured for the data source.

The system default is 600 seconds. You can assign a value between 1 and 2,147,483,647.

Connection Idle Timeout

Specifies the number of minutes that a client-server connection remains idle before the MXCS server terminates the connection.

You must assign a value between 1 and 2,147,483,647. The system default is 600 seconds.

Session Statistics Connection Information

You must select this option to collect statistics about the connection and the session. Data source statistics are stored in the Event Monitoring Service (EMS) log. The event ID is 21035.

Session Summary

You must select this option to collect statistics about individual SQL statements. Data source statistics are stored in the EMS log. The event ID is 21035.

Number of Servers Maximum

Specifies the upper limit of the servers that can be operational for a service on the data source.

The default is 1. The range is 0 to 32767.

0 specifies the system default that is determined by the system at run time.

If you use the default of 1000 ports for MXCS during installation, the range is 1 through 997.

If you configure more than 1000 ports for MXCS, the value for Maximum is the number of configured ports minus 3. In this case, the actual maximum number of MXCS servers can sometimes be greater than the number of ports configured.

Idle

Specifies the lower limit of the available idle MXCS servers that are operational for a service on the data source.

The values range from 0 to 32767. The default is 0.

This value cannot exceed the maximum server value.

CAUTION:

The sum of all the Idle values for a given system must not exceed the number of ports specified when the MXCS service was started up.

Initial

Specifies the suggested number of MXCS servers that each service starts up when the data source is first started up.

The default is 0. The values range from 0 to 32767. This value cannot exceed the maximum server value.

Process Priority Initial

Specifies the priority assigned to a process started for this data source. The values range from 1 to 199.

System Default

Specifies the priority of the MXOAS process when the servers are created.

CPU Utilization CPU Order

Specifies the processing nodes (CPUs) you want to use for this data source.

Enter a list of CPU numbers, separated by commas. For example: 1,2,4,5,15.

System Default

Specifies that the SQL/MX software determines the CPU utilization automatically.

Statement Statistics SQL Statement

Specifies the statistics about individual SQL statements.

SQLExecute

Specifies the statistics about SQLExecute.

SQLPrepare

Specifies the statistics about SQLPrepare.

SQLExecDirect

Specifies the statistics about SQLExecDirect.

SQLFetch

Specifies the statistics about SQLFetch.
