HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference

dbfilenamenumber This attribute gives the name of the file and provides a sequential integer
identifier (starting at 0) for the file. All associated statistics for the file are given this same numerical
identifier.
dbfilecachehit This attribute gives the number of times that a search requiring data from this
file was performed and that the data were successfully obtained from the cache.
dbfilecachemiss This attribute gives the number of times that a search requiring data from this
file was performed and that the data could not be obtained from the cache.
dbfilepagein This attribute gives the number of pages brought to the cache from this file.
dbfilepageout This attribute gives the number of pages for this file written from cache to disk.
3.4.7 Database attributes under cn=index, cn=NetscapeRoot, cn=ldbm database,
cn=plugins, cn=config and cn=index, cn=UserRoot, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins,
cn=config
In addition to the set of default indexes that are stored under cn=default indexes,
cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config, custom indexes can be
created for o=NetscapeRoot, o=UserRoot, and user-defined backend instances; these are
stored under cn=index, cn=database_name, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins,
cn=config. Each indexed attribute represents a subentry under the cn=config information
tree nodes, as shown in the following diagram:
Figure 3-2 Indexed attribute representing a subentry
For example, the index file for the aci attribute under o=UserRoot appears in the Directory
Server as follows:
dn:cn=aci, cn=index, cn=UserRoot, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config
objectclass:top
objectclass:nsIndex
cn:aci
nssystemindex:true
nsindextype:pres
These entries share all the indexing attributes listed for the default indexes in “Database attributes
under cn=default indexes, cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config”. For further
information about indexes, refer to the "Managing Indexes" chapter in the HP-UX Directory Server
administrator guide.
3.4.7.1 nsSubStrBegin
By default, for a search to be indexed, the search string must be at least three characters long,
without counting any wildcard characters. For example, the string abc would be an indexed
search while ab* would not be. Indexed searches are significantly faster than unindexed searches,
so changing the minimum length of the search key is helpful to increase the number of indexed
searches.
This substring length can be edited based on the position of any wildcard characters. The
nsSubStrBegin attribute sets the required number of characters for an indexed search for the
beginning of a search string, before the wildcard. For example:
