TIBCO GridServer® 7.1.0

# Database Types

There are two databases used by the GridServer Manager, each of which are described below.

## The Reporting Database

The external reporting database is optionally used to store events and statistics. Depending on configuration settings, this database can grow quickly. Using a robust external database is recommended if you plan to make use of the reporting capabilities. The specific types of data that are stored in the reporting database are configurable in the Administration Tool at Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Database. Install the external database on any machine reachable from the Broker over a standard network connection.

If a grid is deployed across a large WAN on which latencies can be large, it’s best not to have all Brokers write to the same reporting database, especially if the database is in a remote location. You can override a Director’s reporting database settings with a Broker-specific database setting. To do so, go to Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Database, and set Override Primary Director setting to True. When True, it uses the given values, otherwise it gets the values from the Director.

For information about installing an external database for the reporting database, the GridServer Installation Guide.

## The Internal Database

GridServer’s internal database stores admin data such as User, Engine, Driver, and Broker information. In typical cases, the internal database is read at Manager startup, and only written to thereafter if user-driven admin events occur, such as adding a user, Engine, or Manager. The internal database is required to start the Manager. This database is an embedded component of the GridServer software.
