Chapter 9. GT.M Database Structure(GDS)

GDS is an FIS proprietary internal database structure used to store global variables and lock resource names. A high-level understanding of GDS can help database administrators correctly interpret GT.M logs/error messages, and maintain database metrics. You should always consult GT.M support (gtmsupport@fisglobal.com) in the unlikely event of getting database integrity issues.

This chapter provides a high-level overview of GDS components. A comprehensive description of all the components of GDS is beyond the scope of this chapter.
