Hi Debbie,

Are you the same Debbie mentioned on page 76 of Networker's "Performance Tuning Guide" ?

Hi Stan,
Hope you are doing well. With regards to tuning nsrjobd for memory utilization there is a knowledge base article on Powerlink which provides details on this as well as a high level overview of nsrjobd, the nsrjobsdb, the purging process etc. Additionally there is an RFE filed (LGTsc20017) to change the default settings for the policies used to determine when purging occurs to be more inline with what is recommeneded in the Upgrades Technical Note.

I feel that the recommendations in esg93654 are not optimal as they try to save a few Mb of extra cheap disk space while they sacrifice the overall system stability and maintainability. Just put 200Mb or some large number in the size field and be done with it. There is no point in tuning this field and keep monitoring it for years, just to make sure you are OK.

Hope no one minds but I'd like to make reference to the NetWorker Support By Product Landing Page to point you to the Knowledge Base article regarding nsrjobd to help raise awareness. This website has been up and running for some time and it's purpose is to provide a central location of key NetWorker Knowledge Base Articles, Whitepapers, Manuals, and Technical documents that are available on Powerlink. This Landing Page is frequently updated with new information, in particular the Installation and Upgrades section (up to and including NetWorker 7.5). There are two ways this website can be accessed:
From Powerlink, go to the Support Menu -> Support By Product -> NetWorker
The direct link is https://support.emc.com/products/NetWorker.aspx
Both require Powerlink authentication to gain access.
In the Configuration Section within the Getting Started Tab you will see a link entitled "Tuning jobsdb default settings" in the General Subsection. Clicking on this link will take you to the article I was referencing (http://solutions.emc.com/emcsolutionview.asp?id=esg93654). I would also like to encourage anyone who visits this site to use the feedback mechanism in the bottom right hand corner of every page to help us make this site even better. Thanks
Debbie
