Creating data files for the Workflow Manager workspace in SQL Server
Standard GIS storage recommendations favor keeping index and log files separate from vector and tabular business tables. For performance reasons, it is better to position the business, feature, and spatial index tables separately and position FileGroup data files based on their usage pattern. For a multiversioned, highly active editing geodatabase, database files of the VERSIONS FileGroup may be separated and dispersed across available disks to avoid input/output contention.
The following table has the recommended FileGroups to be created for storing the Workflow Manager features and table.
FILEGROUP | ArcSDE Parameter |
|---|---|
WMX_BDATA | Business table |
WMX_BINDEX | Business table index |
WMX_FDATA | Feature table |
WMX_FINDEX | Feature table index |
WMX_SDATA | Spatial index table |
WMX_SINDEX | Spatial index table index |
WMX_ADATA | Adds table (versioned) |
WMX_AINDEX | Adds table index |
WMX_DDATA | Deletes table (versioned) |
WMX_DINDEX | Deletes table index |
The following script can be used to add FileGroups through SQL Server Management Studio.

By setting the data files' initial size to 1 MB, there is no delay in the creation of the FileGroups. You can then resize the data files to avoid fragmentation.
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Bdata01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Bindex01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Fdata01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Findex01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Sdata01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Sindex01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Adata01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Aindex01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Ddata01’, SIZE = 400MB )
ALTER DATABASE [WMXDB] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N’wmx_Dindex01’, SIZE = 400MB )
Use the following to verify FileGroups and data files:
EXEC sp_helpdb wmxdb
GO
