How IBM Cloudscape supports online and offline Backups

-
IBM Cloudscape is a Java-enabled Object Relational Database Management System (ORDBMS). It supports complex SQL statements, transaction management, and provides multi-user support in the Database Management System (DBMS).

You can create two types of backups of the Cloudscape database, online backup and offline backup. You can make backups of a database and the log file of the database. When restoring the database, you need to restore the log file and the database.

The below picture shows structure of Cloudscape system.
Cloud scope

You need to understand the structure and contents of a Cloudscape system in order to make backups and restore Cloudscape databases.

A Cloudscape system consists of a system directory, one or more Cloudscape databases, and the system properties and configuration settings.

A system directory contains a properties file called db2j.properties and an information and error log file called db2j.log. Each database in a Cloudscape system is stored in a subdirectory, which has the same name as the database.

The System Directory

To define the system directory, you need to specify the name of the directory in the db2j.system.home property. You specify the name of the directory when starting a Cloudscape system.

If you do not set this property at the time of startup, the current directory is taken as the system directory by default.

The system directory determines where you need to create and store new Cloudscape databases. In addition, it determines which configuration settings to use.

The Properties File

The properties file is a text file called db2j.properties. This text file is stored in the system directory. It contains properties settings for the entire Cloudscape system. You can set system properties, such as db2j.system.home, db2j.storage.pageSize, and db2j.infolog.append, in this file.

You need to manually create the db2j.properties file in the system directory because Cloudscape does not create this file automatically. This file enables you to specify the settings for the system-wide properties.

The Log File

The log file contains information and error messages generated by the Cloudscape system after you connect with a database. This file is called db2j.log and is stored in the system directory.

By default, Cloudscape overwrites messages in the same log file for each session. If you specify the system property db2j.infolog.append=true in the db2j.properties file, Cloudscape appends messages in the log file instead of overwriting in the log file.

Explained Ideal Structure of Python Class

When you are designing a class, you need to ensure that the classification of its critical parts is outlined at the beginning. The clearer the initial design, the more performant and scalable the class is. Some of the components in the order in which they should be defined in the class are mentioned as follows. Ideal structure of a class Class variables Constants or default variables are usually defined at the top of the class. For someone who is reading the code, it comes as an easy-to-view consolidated list, and for the interpreter it ensures that all such variables are processed before diving into the main logic of the class, including any other Instance method or constructor. The __init__ method The __init__ method provides information about inputs needed and how to instantiate the class. It is also the constructor of the class, which the very first method called while initializing the class . Special Python methods These methods change the functionality of the class or provide add

How to Check Kafka Available Brokers

Here's the command to check the list of brokers present in a Kafka Cluster. You can say the Broker is the heart of the Kafka cluster. In simple terms, it works as a process.

How to Check Available Brokers in Kafka Here is the command: linux$  ./zookeeper-shell.sh zookeeper-IPaddress:2181 | "ls /brokers/ids" Just use the above command to get the number of brokers present in your host (Kafka Cluster). What is Default Broker-id in Kafka  The default broker id is -1 . When you create a new broker, it adds to -1. Then, it gives a new broker id. The broker ids will be generated from  reserved.broker.max.id + 1. Types of broker ids. Use assigned Zookeeper generated broker id. According to Wiki: Kafka runs on a cluster of one or more servers (called brokers), and the partitions of all topics are distributed across the cluster nodes.  Additionally, partitions are replicat
