CMDB Engine configuration settings
If you are in a server group environment, select the required AR System server from the Select Server drop-down list. If you have a stand-alone environment, the required server name is automatically displayed.
Function | Parameter | Description | Default Value | Setting in the AR Configuration file |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Configure cache settings | Cache Refresh Interval | Defines the interval after which CMDB to refreshes its cache in the background. Changes you make to this parameter takes effect at the next refresh interval or engine task kill. Notes:
| 300000 milliseconds | CMDB-Cache-Refresh-Interval |
Initial Delay for Cache Refresh | Defines the time after which the cache is refreshed after the server is started. Note: Set the value of this parameter to be greater than 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds). Else, the default value is taken. | 900000 milliseconds | CMDB-Cache-Refresh-Initial-Delay | |
Configure orphan data settings | ChunkedItem Cleanup Interval | Defines the interval at which the CMDB server performs orphan data checks. Changes you make to this parameter take effect at the next refresh interval or CMDB Engine task kill. Notes:
| 300000 milliseconds | CMDB-ChunkedItem-Cleanup-Interval |
Initial Delay for Chunked Item Cleanup | Defines the delay to start checking for orphan data after CMDB server has started. Note: Set the value of this parameter to be greater than 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds). Else, the default value is taken. | 900000 milliseconds | CMDB-ChunkedItem-Cleanup-Initial-Delay | |
Duration for Chunked Item in Cache | Defines the interval after which the data is treated as orphaned and the memory is reclaimed by the AR System. Note: Set the value of this parameter to be greater than 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds). Else, the default value is taken. | 3600000 milliseconds | CMDB-ChunkedItem-Allowed-Period-In-Cache | |
Configure data handling parameters
| Maximum Results Per Query | Defines the maximum number of results that are returned per query. A value of 0 implies that the maximum results per query are unlimited. Important: Setting this parameter to 0 for large models can lead to memory issues. Configure this parameter based on your system’s capacity and expected graph size. | Zero (0) | CMDB-Max-Results-Per-Query |
Graph Walk Chunk Size | Defines the chunk size for the results returned by the graph walk API. | 200 | CMDB-Graph-Walk-Chunk | |
GQ Recursion Limit | Defines the number of levels of recursion for the CMDB graph query. Important: Setting this parameter to 0 for large models can lead to memory issues. Configure this parameter based on your system’s capacity and expected graph size. | Zero (0) | CMDB-GQRecursion-Limit | |
Recursive Query For Graph Walk | Used to disable the recursive query for the Graph Walk API. Possible values are True and False. The recursive query is enabled, by default, for the Graph Walk API. You can disable the recursive query for the Graph Walk API by adding the CMDB-Use-RecursiveQuery-For-Graph-Walk parameter in the Centralized Configuration and setting its value to False. For information about adding the Centralized Configuration settings, see Updating configuration settings by using the AR System Configuration Generic UI form.
| True | CMDB-Use-RecursiveQuery-For-Graph-Walk (com.bmc.cmdb.server ) | |
Default Impact Weight | Defines the default weight attached to an impact relationship. This value is used to configure the Impact Simulator to set default Impact weight in relationships when the hasImpact attribute is set to Yes. | Zero (0) | CMDB-Impact-Weight-Default | |
Hard Delete Only if Marked for Delete | Specifies that, if a CI is to be hard deleted, it should be first marked for deletion. Note: This setting does not apply to the CIs of classes from BMC.CORE.CONFIG namespace. | False | CMDB-Hard-Delete-Only-If-Marked-For-Delete | |
Validate Federation Source | Validates if data is present in Federated data store. Has values True or False. If set to True, the CMDB Engine performs the validation around federation data sources. | True | CMDB-Validate-Federation-Source | |
Create Log Per Thread | Creates a separate log file for each thread of API/SQL/Filter Logs. | Zero (0) | CMDB-Log-Per-Thread | |
Allow Global BSSO Delete | Checks the out-of-the-box global instances of the three classes, BMC_BusinessService, BMC_ServiceOffering, and BMC_SERVICEREALIZEDBYOFFERING for deletion. | False | CMDB-Allow-Global-BSSO-Delete | |
Configure inline normalization | Enable Inline Normalization | If Inline normalization is enabled, the CIs are normalized as soon as it is created or modified in the CMDB. In this mode, CIs are normalized before it is saved in the CMDB. This check box is selected by default so that the CIs are normalized as soon as it is created, updated, or modified. | True | CMDB-Inline-Normalization |
Subscribe to an event | Enable Event Channel | Enables the subscriber to receive the event as soon as a CI is created, updated, or modified. | False | Event-Channel-Enabled |
