DATABASE MAINTENANCE USING PARALLEL PROCESSING TECHNIQUES WITH DEDICATED LOGICAL CHANNELS

Abstract:

An adaptive maintenance technique using multiple simultaneous processes or server process ID (SPID) executions to perform database management. Parallel execution of separate database maintenance process organized by object groups provides logical channel isolation (preventing command conflicts). The simultaneous and parallel database maintenance processes are configured to allow suspension of maintenance midstream and the setting of maintenance windows to predetermined time periods.
