I have previously talked about setting up the DBC data manager properly and
received a lot of e-mails asking for that info. I am pasting a copy from the
FAQ on the website. I highly recommend you do this.
I use BMI or DBC. What are the optimal Data Manager settings?
Use the Start - Programs - Omega Research (OMGA) - GlobalServer menu
sequence to open the GlobalServer.
Make sure the GlobalServer is in Online mode. To verify that you are using
the online mode, click the File menu command and look at Work Offline menu
option. If there is a check mark next to this menu option, you are currently
in Offline mode; click the Work Offline menu option to remove the check mark
and start the GlobalServer in Online mode.
Click the Data Manager taskbar button to view the Data Manager window.
Note: If a Limitations on Use of Information box appears, click the message
box to continue.
Press CTRL+ALT+F10 on your keyboard.
Use the Diagnostic - Erase Database menu sequence to remove the existing
database in Signal's software from the hard disk. If this Data Manager has
been taking a long time to open, this may take a long time to complete.
Use the Data - Time menu sequence.
Under Computer Clock, select the Synchronize Computer Clock check box and
then click OK. This ensures that ticks are properly time stamped when the
Data Manager is used with the GlobalServer.
Use the Data - History Apps menu sequence, and click the Tick tab.
In the box at the bottom with columns labeled Key, Version, and Type, look
under the Type column to locate the Tick App application.
In the Key column, click the entry that corresponds to the Tick App entry.
Click StopApp.
Clear the AutoStart Local Application check box. This will keep the Data
Manager from saving the tick data for every symbol in every enabled
category. This takes valuable machine resources and duplicates the work that
the GlobalServer is already doing.
Click OK.
Use the Receiver - Exit menu sequence to close the Data Manager.
Click the GlobalServer taskbar button to access the GlobalServer.
Use the File - Work Offline menu sequence, which places a check mark next to
the Work Offline menu option. This signifies that you are now working in
Offline mode.
Use the File - Work Offline menu sequence to clear the check mark; this
restarts the Online mode and automatically starts the Data Manager.
Additional information for users of broadcast datafeeds utilizing the
GlobalServer:
The Data Manager should be running in Freeze Database mode. This mode is
automatically enabled if you allow the GlobalServer to spawn the Data
Manager software by starting the GlobalServer first. Additionally, by
default the Data Manager is set to allow the collection of regional stock
information. Collecting regional symbols will use unnecessary resources if
this is data that you do not use for your market decisions. When enabled,
regional symbols can account for an additional 20 to 25 thousand symbols.
You can disable the collection of regional symbols in the Data Manager using
the following steps.
>From the Data Manager main menu, click on Data - Symbols.
Click on the Globals button.
Uncheck the box next to "Allow collection of regional stock information."
Click the OK button.
Click the Close button
