15.3.1 Before expanding an RDAREA
(1) RDAREAs that can be expanded
The following RDAREAs can be expanded:
- User RDAREAs
- User LOB RDAREAs
- Master directory RDAREA
- Data directory RDAREA
- Data dictionary RDAREAs
- Data dictionary LOB RDAREAs
- Registry RDAREA
- Registry LOB RDAREA
- List RDAREAs
(2) When to expand an RDAREA
RDAREA expansion should be performed under the following circumstances:
- The number of rows in a table has increased to the point that no more data can be stored.
- RDAREA reinitialization cannot be used to increase the size of the RDAREA (for details on RDAREA reinitialization, see 15.4 Modifying the size or attributes of an RDAREA (RDAREA reinitialization)).
- The RDAREA can contain multiple HiRDB files.
- If you increase the number of HiRDB files, keep in mind the value in the pd_max_file_no operand. If the number of all HiRDB files in the RDAREAs exceeds the value in this operand, RDAREAs cannot be added.
- You must handle the RDAREA's status as expanded below:
- If the RDAREA is in error shutdown status, eliminate the cause of the error shutdown, and then use the pdrels command to release the error shutdown status.
- If the RDAREA is in closed status, use the pdopen command to place it in open status.
