Agent configuration variables

The following table lists and describes variables that are set in the PATROL Agent for PATROL for Oracle. Use the agent configuration utility to view these variables. Some variables are created for internal use only. These variables are used by PATROL for Oracle and alteration of these variables harms the operation of PATROL for Oracle.

Warning

Do not change variables that are designated For internal use only; do not modify or delete. Modification or deletion of these variables harms the operation of PATROL for Oracle.

When changing variables, follow these guidelines:

Make sure that you are aware of the implications before changing a variable.
Create a record of the original setting for a variable before you change it.
If you use the PATROL Configuration Manager to change variables, make sure that the Backup Agents Before Apply option remains selected.

For more information, see Using PATROL Configuration Manager to modify and migrate configuration and the PATROL Configuration Manager User Guide.

Note

From PATROL for Oracle version 9.1.00 and 9.1.10, all pconfig variables for which each string was separated by a new line will be separated by the pipe character (|) and for Oracle versions 9.5.00 onwards, all pconfig variables for which each string was separated by a new line be separated by the comma (,).

For example, if you set a blackout period on a server called Oracle1 for Monday, starting at 1:00 a.m., and lasting for 60 minutes, the following value would display for this variable:

Oracle1 Monday 3600 60

Warning

Blackout periods set by using PATROL Configuration Manager are not verified.

You can change this variable by using the Debug command from the ORACLE menu.

This pconfig variable must be created and set with an appropriate Oracle hint only when you have performance issues for the LockConflicts parameter.

Default value: 0

Because PATROL for Oracle ^® connects directly to your production databases, BMC recommends that communication between tiers of the product, especially if any tier lies outside your internal network, be handled through virtual private networking (VPN) connections for the strongest security. This appendix provides information about setting up those communications in your environment.
