Remote Database - Questions about SQL Server Configuration?

Hi

We are in a Lifecycle Management for IEM installation process. the environment will have ~25000 clients.

DB admin team, who will administrate the IEM remote db, had some questions on our db request. I need your help to answer some of these questions:

How many concurrent session are planned ? (Which component should be referenced for this ? Console Usage, Agents…)
will Full Text Indexes or Full Text Search be used ?
will there be any big table (has more than 5m rows) ?

Assuming you are deploying 9.x, the number of concurrent connections will be primarily based on the Root Server components (and not Consoles, Agents) - perhaps around 25. That said, these are not necessarily an indication of the load the application will put on the database.

Full text is not a requirement for IEM (please see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS63NW_9.2.0/com.ibm.tivoli.tem.doc_9.2/Platform/Adm/c_database_requirements.html).

And yes, there will very likely be some larger tables (more than 5M rows), though this depends on your environment and usage.
