Host Server Running hcidbdump Command

Bob there is a GM widget that returns the count of transactions in the error and recovery DB.   This is why the hostserver is running these commands.   You should be able to disable this widget if you don’t need it.

As an administrator, you would disable the widget so no one can add it to their dashboard.

Bob the best way to do this without affecting all users’ views is to have each user remove it manually.   There is a way for an administrator to apply a dashboard layout to all (or selected) users, but this will over-ride their layout if they customized it.

If you choose the latter, as an administrator, there’s a button that allows you to apply your layout to selected users and/or views.

There’s also an entry on the System preferences page to indicate how often hcidbdump is run.   You can’t set this to -1 but you can set it to “1440” which would be every 24 hours.

In order to prevent hcidbdump from being executed at all, the widget needs to be removed from all user dashboards.

Hope this helps.

I have heard that you are never supposed to stop the Database Administrator, but mine appears to be hung.  Is there any way to kill it or do I need to drop everything and do that database cleanup and reboot?  thanks.
