Modifying the Unify usage report chunk size

The Unify usage report is stored in the Unify database. When either the service provider, a reseller, or an organization administrator tries to export the report in the CSV format, the data is transferred in the form of chunks one by one from the database to the CP server.

The default chunk size is 5000 characters. If there is a heavy traffic between the database and the CP servers, you may want to decrease this chunk size so that the usage report transfer does not add to the heavy traffic. Or if there is very less traffic between the database and the CP servers, and you want to download the usage report quickly, you may want to increase the chunk size.

To modify the chunk size:

  1. Log on to the CP server as the domain administrator.

  2. Open a command prompt window and change to the <CP_install_dir>\bin directory, where <CP_install_dir> is the installation path specified during the Ensim Unify control panel software installation. For example, If you have installed the control panel software in the default directory, then go to C:\Program Files\Ensim\Ensim Unify\cp\bin.

  3. Type the following command in the command prompt window.

SetGlobalConfig.exe <control_panel_username> <control_panel_password> "Global Unify Settings" UnifySettings ReportManagerChunkSize <integer> int  

where:

Example: SetGlobalConfig.exe admin@example.net abc123 "Global Unify Settings" UnifySettings ReportManagerChunkSize 2000 int

  1. Run the command iisreset.

  2. Stop the Provisioning Engine COM+ service by performing the following steps on all PE servers:

    1. Log in to the PE server as the domain administrator.

    2. Click Start > Administrative Tools, then click Component Services.

    3. Expand Console Root > Component Services > Computers > My Computer > COM+ Applications.

    4. Right-click Provisioning Engine, then select Shut down.

    5. If you have more than one PE server, repeat the previous steps for each PE server.

The chunk size is modified.
