Devspace Configuration 

You configure the maximum number of devspaces that is possible by setting the appropriate database parameter when creating the database instance.

Devspace type

Parameter

Data Devspace

MAXDATADEVSPACES

Log Devspace

MAXARCHIVELOGS

You can change the settings of both parameters at a later date regardless of which mode the database instance is in. Like all parameter changes, these changes take effect when the database instance is restarted.

Procedure

  1. First, follow the procedure described in Displaying and Changing Current Database Parameters.
  2. Then switch the database instance to the ADMIN mode.
  3. Restart the database.
    The Database Manager GUI switches the database instance first into OFFLINE mode and then into ONLINE mode and saves the new parameter setting in the parameter file. It reserves the amount of memory space called for by the setting plus a reserve equal in size to the largest devspace of this type. This reserve allows you to create an additional devspace of this type while the database is running when the number originally planned is too small.

How to define devspaces is described in Defining Devspaces.
