AdministeringIn addition to administering the database server, you can tune performance, replicate data, and archive data.
System administrationThese topics contain concepts, procedures, and reference information for database and database server administrators to use for managing and tuning HCL OneDB™ database servers.
Administrator's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ Administrator's Guide provides the information required to administer HCL OneDB™.
Disk, memory, and process management
Shared memoryThese topics describe the content of database server shared memory, the factors that determine the sizes of shared-memory areas, and how data moves into and out of shared memory.
Flush data to diskWriting a buffer to disk is called buffer flushing.
Flush buffer-pool buffersFlushing of the buffers is triggered by specific conditions.

Flush buffer-pool buffers

Flushing of the buffers is triggered by specific conditions.

Flushing of the buffers is initiated when:

The number of buffers in an MLRU queue reaches the number specified by the lru_max_dirty value in the BUFFERPOOL configuration parameter.
The page-cleaner threads cannot keep up. In other words, a user thread must acquire a buffer, but no unmodified buffers are available.
The database server must execute a checkpoint. (See Checkpoints.)

Automatic LRU tuning affects all buffer pools and adjusts the lru_min_dirty and lru_max_dirty values in the BUFFERPOOL configuration parameter.
