System Architecture 2-7
In This Chapter
In this guide, system architecture is interpreted broadly to include OnLine
database server processes as well as OnLine shared memory and disk data
structures.ThischapterprovidesoptionalreferencematerialaboutOnLine5.x
operation that is intended to deepen your understanding. Topics in other
chapters contain cross-references to specific topics in this chapter if
additional information could prove helpful for understanding.
OnLine system architecture can be separated into two major categories:
■ Shared memory
■ Disk data structures
Thefirsthalfofthischapter coversshared-memorytopics.Thesecondhalf of
this chapter, which begins on page 2-81, describes information related to the
disk data structures.
Initialization
OnLine initialization refers to two related activities: shared-memory initial-
ization and disk-space initialization. To initialize OnLine, you execute the
tbinit process. You can do this directly from the UNIX command line or
indirectlyviaDB-Monitor.Theoptions you include inthetbinitcommandor
the option you select from DB-Monitor determines the specific initialization
procedure that tbinit executes.
Refer to page 2-10 for a detailed description of what happens during shared-
memory initialization.
Refer to page 2-14 for a detailed description of what happens during disk-
space initialization.
