Altering SERVER_CONFIG parameters before the geodatabase is created
The giomgr.defs file in the etc directory of SDEHOME contains the data for populating the SERVER_CONFIG table (sde_server_config in SQL Server and PostgreSQL). The file is read when the SERVER_CONFIG repository table is created, which happens when you create an ArcSDE geodatabase.
If you change values in the giomgr.defs file before you create your ArcSDE geodatabase, the SERVER_CONFIG table will be populated with the values you specify in the giomgr.defs file.
-
Make a backup copy of the default giomgr.defs file.
For example, you could copy the default file to a new file named giomgr.defsbu. If you later decide to change any of the parameter values back to the default settings, you can use this backup file for reference.
- Open the giomgr.defs file with a text editor.
- Edit the initialization parameter values you want to change.
-
Save the altered giomgr.defs file to the etc directory of SDEHOME.
When you create your geodatabase, the values from this file will be used to populate the SERVER_CONFIG table.
