Database Server

 

Database Sizing:

The recommendation is that you have a DBA configure your database as you would for any other Enterprise Web Application.
For disk space, the recommendation is to start with a base of 30GB (for SQL Server, 50GB) to accommodate the FlexNet Code Insight Data Libraries and other data related to users, teams, projects, and such.

If you install the database on the same machine as the Core Server, calculate the hard-drive requirement by adding the database base size to the recommended Core Server disk space. (Also see Additional Notes about Hardware Requirements.)

After starting with the base size, scale up by 2MB for every 5,000 files scanned. Begin by estimating how much you will scan in the first 6 months, and add that to the 30GB base size.
As for data volume, FlexNet Code Insight does not move enormous amounts of data, nor does it have extremely high concurrent transaction rates.

Additional Notes about Hardware Requirements

Note the following about hardware requirements:

Ensure that you allocate sufficient buffer pool size to the database. Otherwise, the Electronic Update might not complete. For MySQL, set the innodb buffer pool size to a minimum of 1G (innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1G).
For SQL Server, it is strongly recommended that the database and the Core Server reside on the same machine (with a minimum hard-drive requirement of 50GB for the database and 30GB for the Core Server, for a total of 80GB).
