1. In beginning
DBCacheTool is the tool which tries the check and recovery of
information display of DBCache of NVFS which is loaded onto TungstenT5
and being less crowded capacity.
Usually, the necessity to be conscious of the being less crowded
capacity of the cache does, e.g., (influence appears in speed at the
time of purge) being to be the expectation which is not excluding, but
when with TungstenT5 it is less crowded and capacity is small, there
are times when influence appears in operation, (the *1). For example
e.g., it becomes not be able to start application, is. Concerning this
status, after it was less crowded by the fact that HotSync is done and
it seems that capacity recovers but (the *2), immediately after the
resetting and it utilized the big database it is less crowded and
because there are times when capacity decreases, status to be
generated is a tendency which becomes easy.
Depending, it is provisional solution, but with DBCacheTool it is less
crowded and when capacity decreases, to the system it is less crowded
by the fact that it posts related to HotSync and recovery of capacity
is tried corresponds to this phenomenon (the *3).
Furthermore, because DBCacheTool as description above operates with
principle, to be less crowded in the same way by the fact that HotSync
is done making use of DBCacheTool when it is possible also and to make
capacity recover it is. There are times when it cannot start
application, but when there is an insecurity in the introduction of
DBCacheTool, concerning HotSync modus operandi
Please examine collectively.
* Please be sure to read
----
1) With 2004/12/02 present items of information, description
and the code of contents are created. When in the future, for example
the update and the like of ROM was done, there is a possibility
unconformity happening. In addition, conversely as for this kind of
tool there is also a possibility of becoming unnecessary. First,
please verify status such as update of the device manufacturer.
2) There is also an application where operation becomes unstable, by
modifying configuration when it becomes the status which resets worst
hard, it is. The case of utilization, INTERNAL volume is included in
advance and doing, in order to receive, prayer it does e.g., contents
of memory inside the computer back up.
In addition, including the problem and the like of system side,
because the various primary factors are related, when (it is difficult
mainly, it cannot cope the fact that it copes even with when trouble
is generated, please think) it is status distantly. In addition, also
degradation and the influence to hard with the fact that the frequency
which is hit in the cache decreases are thought. Understanding this
kind of demerit, after receiving, that introduction examination it
receives, we ask.
----
(*1)
Depending upon environment and modus operandi, there are also
times when influence does not appear. That kind of case, being
conscious, perhaps the necessity to change configuration it is not.
(*2)
Because it is unclear, if, but it was less crowded securely
and is not the information which guarantees the fact that capacity
recovers, in order the test it did with when HotSync is done, for
DBCache once to halt, it was less crowded and that capacity increases,
it was verified whether the specification of DBCache. With DBCacheTool
making use of this, it is less crowded and in order to make capacity
recover, it tries.
(*3)
At the time of all operating, it is not something which
guarantees correspondence. In addition, there are also times when the
error DBCache itself with the primary factor comes out. Please note.

3. Prerequisite
It operates with TungstenT5. Perhaps, it operates even with
Treo650, but verification has not gone.
4. Introduction manner
From the file which is downloaded DBCacheTool.Fetching prc, please introduce on the device with such as HotSync. In
addition using DA, when it displays information and the like,
DBCacheDA.Please introduce also prc together.
5. Usage
When it does to activate DBCacheTool from the foam/home picture
and the like, the information of DBCache is displayed in picture top.
Size of the cache, being less crowded capacity, it is the maximum
which can be guaranteed in 1 instruction from above.
5-1.Activation
The tap please do the ON button of picture lower part. It is
less crowded under conditions below and it reaches the point where
recovery of capacity is executed.
When Soft reset check reset to entry is executed, always recovery
processing is run.
App stop check to entry
When halt processing of application was run, verifying the
capacity of free and max, when it is smaller than the value which is
specified, it runs recovery processing. In case of application change
other than activation command of standard, there are times when halt
cannot be recognized. For example, it is the record access and the
like from the search result.
Ctrl tap check to entry
When the tap doing the button and the like, verifying the
capacity of free and max, when it is smaller than the value which is
specified, it runs recovery processing.
* In the button and the like which is implemented individually
application, there are times when it does not react.
Free and max
App the value which does capacity verification with stop or
Ctrl tap configuration is specified. Because it is the value which
verifies, after executing recovery processing even, there are times
when it does not recover to the value which is specified (as for
especially max almost it does not recover). Furthermore, when 0 is
specified, value of the entry which is specified decreasing,
processing stops being run.
For example, free < max < at the time of 0, when free decreases than
4M, processing is run with 4M, but the value of max decreasing, it is
not executed.
5-2.Halt
Activating DBCacheTool from the foam/home picture and the like,
the tap please designate the OFF button which is as picture lower
part.
5-3.Specification every of application
The Apps button with tap thing, it can add can edit the
configuration every of application. Basically it is the same entry as
entire configuration, but 2 dots below differ.
Event Deq check to entry
Including App stop, and the like it deals with with all events.
First frm init check to entry
After the application activating, when first form opens, it is
executed.
* When it checks in Event Deq entry, whenever something it operates,
to become easily (the value of especially max, when it makes big ones
such as 8M, because), influence appears in speed of response in the
kind of status where processing is executed, please note.
5-4.Display of the information with DA and execution of processing
When DBCacheDA is activated from Launcher of DA, it is less
crowded and capacity is displayed. When here, the Clear button the tap
is done, execution of processing is specified to DBacheTool.
5-5.Deletion
After halting DBCacheTool, please delete with function of the
foam/home picture and the like.
6.Restriction item
Depending upon application there are some which are stopped
working just. When DBCacheTool has become ON, the starting HotSync and
posting the end are issued with the timing which usually differs. In
order not to cross over other than system module, it is implemental,
but it is not complete. Depending, in order to receive the posting
HotSync, with influence is a ? case in the application which does
register processing. In addition, in addition it is less crowded and
when capacity recovers, because the influence of DBCache it becomes
easy to come out, receiving the influence of DBCCache, itself the ?
it increases also the fact that it becomes error.
* As for the above-mentioned problem, it is the phenomenon which is
generated because DBCacheTool modifies the movement of original OS.
Question - please do not put out ? and the like to the application
creation origin even with when there is an application whose operation
is strange.
HotSync in operation, halts the processing of DBCacheTool. It halts
also the configuration every of application and the specification etc.
from DA.
When recovery and processing are executed, until the data is
registered to the cache for the second time, change processing and the
like of application becomes slow. For example, when change of
application doing, several seconds? Several dozen seconds it is the
status and the like where the picture does not change.
Recovery and processing being run, when it is less crowded and
capacity (especially max) does not increase, it is.
Because it means to decrease the effect of the cache, perhaps
influence appears in the battery and memory.
As for the cache capacity of TugstenT5 10M it is described in the
document and the like but (2004/12/2 presently), with DBCacheTool
approximately 14M it is displayed. Acquiring with the procedure which
is stated in the document, because it is the result, you can think "of
the bug" description the bug of the mistake "DBCache very thing" of
DBCacheTool "and so on, but cause is unclear.
In addition
Still, you think that the problem which with the writer is not
perceived is mainly left.
