DbEnv Descriptor Element

A dbenv element causes an IceGrid node to generate Freeze configuration properties for the server or service in which it is defined. The IceGrid node also creates a directory for the Berkeley DB database environment if needed.

This element may contain dbproperty elements.This element may only appear as a child of a server or service element.

The following attributes are supported:

Attribute	Description	Required
`home`	Specifies the directory to use as the database environment. If not defined, a sub-directory in the node's data directory is used.	No
`name`	The name of the Berkeley DB database environment.	Yes

The values of the name and home attributes are used to define the Freeze.DbEnv.env-name.DbHome property as shown below:

Freeze.DbEnv.name.DbHome=home

An optional nested description element provides free-form descriptive text.

Here is an example to demonstrate the use of this element:

XML

<dbenv name="MyEnv" home="/opt/data/db">
    <description>A description of the Freeze/BDB database environment.</description>
    ...
</dbenv>
