ib_logfile - InnoDB Configuration

• Article Type: General
• Product: SFX
• Product Version: 3

Description:
I was taking a look at the recovery options for the MySQL datatbase, and I was confused about the 'ib_logfile' files in /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx_version_3/data
I am not familiar with these. Is it possible to disable the InnoDB storage engine or is that being used by the system?

Resolution:
SFX does not use InnoDB processes– so any of the innodb logs in /app/mysql/data are not related to SFX.
If you would like to stop using them, you can add:

skip-innodb

to the [mysqld] section of:

/app/mysql/data/my.cnf

and then restart mysql using option 1 of our server_admin_util tool.
