Increasing Nice Logger Database Disk Space

To increase the size of the NiceCLS database, certain hardware and database size ratio requirements must be met. The hard disk must have enough space and the backup device must be large enough to handle the new database size. When increasing the NiceCLS database, its audit database must be around 10% the size and the transaction log files must be 15-20% of the data files. The database can then be grown using SQL Server Enterprise Manager or Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio by modifying the data and transaction log file sizes and ensuring automatic growth is disabled.

Increasing the NiceCLS Database

Hardware requirements

You must meet the following requirements before you increase the size of the NiceCLS
database:

● The hard disk must be large enough to contain the desired increase in size. There
is a maximum of 50 GB available for the NiceCLS database on the D: drive
partition. Always leave at least 10GB free space on the D: drive partition when
growing the database.

● The NiceCLS backup device (DDS5 tape drive) must be large enough to contain
the entire nice_cls and nice_audit databases. This ensures that the automatic
overnight backup can complete without operator intervention.

Database Size Ratios

When you increase the size of the NiceCLS database, you must maintain the proper size
ratios of the various components of the database:

● The NiceCLS database consists of two databases: nice cls and nice audit. The
size of the nice_audit database must be approximately 10% of the nice_cls
database.
● Each of these databases consists of two files: a data file and a log file
(transaction log). The log files must be approximately 15-20% of the data files.

Growing the Database


To grow the database:
1. Start SQL Enterprise Manager by selecting:
Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Enterprise Manager.
2. Open the ​Microsoft SQL Servers ​hierarchical tree. Navigate to ​Databases ​and
select ​nice_cls. ​Right-click and select ​Properties. The nic​e_​cls Properties
window appears.
3. Click the Data Files tab and, in the ​Space allocated (MB) field, type the specified
size for the ​nic​e_​cls_data ​file.
IMPORTANT

Ensure that the ​Automatically grow file​ check box is NOT ticked when growing any of the databases.

4. Click the ​Transaction Log t​ab and, in the ​Space allocate​d (MB) field, type the
specified size for the ​nic​e_​cls_log file.
5. Click OK. It will take several dozens of minutes for SQL Server to resize the
database.
6. Repea​t steps 2 to 5 ​for the ​nice_audit database.
7. To complete the resizin​g ​database operations, close SQL Serve​r Enterprise
Manager.
Instructions for Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

To grow the database:

1. Start SQL ​Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio​.


2. Open the ​Microsoft SQL Servers ​hierarchical tree. Navigate to ​Databases ​and
select ​nice_cls. ​Right-click and select ​Properties. The nic​e_​cls Properties
window appears.

3. Click the Files tab and, in the Initial Size (MB) field, type the specified size for the
nic​e_​cls_data ​file.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that the ​Autogrowth/Maxsize​ field is set to None (NOT enabled) when growing any of the
databases.

4. Type the specified size for the ​nic​e_​cls_log file.


5. Click OK. It will take several dozens of minutes for SQL Server to resize the
database.
6. Repea​t steps 2 to 5 ​for the ​nice_audit database.
7. To complete the resizin​g ​database operations, close ​Microsoft SQL Server
