View data backup parameter settings

After you run a backup job, you can query the settings of backup parameters.

Procedure

1. Log on to the sys tenant of the cluster as the root user.

2. Execute specific statements to query the settings of backup parameters.

   • View the current number of worker threads for high-availability low-priority jobs such as backup jobs and backup cleanup jobs.

     Here is an example:

     obclient [(none)]> SHOW PARAMETERS LIKE '%ha_low_thread_score%'\G
     

     The query result is as follows:

     *************************** 1. row ***************************
              zone: zone1
          svr_type: observer
            svr_ip: 172.xx.xxx.xxx
          svr_port: 2882
              name: ha_low_thread_score
         data_type: INT
             value: 0
              info: the current work thread score of high availability low thread. Range: [0,100] in integer. Especially, 0 means default value
           section: OBSERVER
             scope: TENANT
            source: DEFAULT
        edit_level: DYNAMIC_EFFECTIVE
     default_value: 0
         isdefault: 1
     1 row in set
     

     The ha_low_thread_score parameter specifies the current number of worker threads for high-availability low-priority jobs such as backup and backup cleanup jobs. The default value is 0. If a data backup job runs slowly, you can increase the value of the ha_low_thread_score parameter. We recommend that you double the value each time. For more information about the ha_low_thread_score parameter, see ha_low_thread_score.

     To set the concurrency for writing data to the file system during backup, execute the following statement:

     obclient [(none)]>  ALTER SYSTEM SET ha_low_thread_score = 4 TENANT = mysql_tenant;
     

     In this example, the ha_low_thread_score parameter is set to 4, which indicates that the number of worker threads for backup jobs in the mysql_tenant tenant is 4.

   • View the backup paths of tenants.

     In the sys tenant, you can query the oceanbase.CDB_OB_BACKUP_PARAMETER view to obtain information about backup paths of all tenants in the current cluster. You can query the oceanbase.DBA_OB_BACKUP_PARAMETER view in a MySQL tenant or the SYS.DBA_OB_BACKUP_PARAMETER view in an Oracle tenant to obtain information about the backup path of the current tenant.

     obclient [(none)]> SELECT * FROM oceanbase.CDB_OB_BACKUP_PARAMETER\G
     

     A sample query result is as follows:

     *************************** 1. row ***************************
     TENANT_ID: 1004
         NAME: data_backup_dest
         VALUE: oss://oceanbase-test-bucket/backup/?host=xxx.aliyun-inc.com&access_id=xxx&access_key=xxx&delete_mode=delete
     1 row in set
     

     In this example, the data backup path (data_backup_dest) of the tenant whose TENANT_ID value is 1004 is oss://oceanbase-test-bucket/backup/?host=xxx.aliyun-inc.com&access_id=xxx&access_key=xxx, and the backup file cleanup mode (delete_mode) of the tenant is delete. delete_mode can be set to either of the following values:

     • delete: specifies that backup files that meet the specified requirements are directly cleaned up.

       In this mode, the system directly deletes the backup files that meet the specified requirements during backup file cleanup.

     • tagging: specifies that backup files that meet the cleanup requirements are tagged and retained.

       In this mode, the system tags the backup files that meet the specified requirements during backup file cleanup. The tag key is delete_mode, and the tag value is tagging. You can manage these backup files on Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS), Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS), or Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) over their lifecycle by tag.
