The file you are after is inside the Users folder which is in turn inside the instance_XX_Map folder. Not the mission file before you .pbo it, the one that resides in your OA root dir.

First off, where abouts is the Arma2OAprofile with the epoch install? I had a look for it in the usual place and I can't seem to find it.
Secondly, how would I go about running a query in Navicat from my server restart batch file? I saw some information on it on the open dayz forums, but I want to minimise any downtime so I thought I would ask here for some slightly more detailed information.
Finally, we got some more cores for our server as in my other post (now got 4 @3.4GHz) but the mission still tends to run with some stupidly low frames - I can say with 99% certainty that it isn't the server which is struggling, (sitting at around 40% CPU and total RAM usage is at around 1.5GB) Could I get someone with a dedicated box to tell me what kind of server frame rate they are getting?
Thanking you in advance :)

Removing the carepackage dropping did improve things, but not enough. Im guessing it is something to do with the AI computing stopping the rest of the server from doing what it needs to do - had a similar problem when trying to host a CTI listen server on my PC, people connecting to me were fine, but my frames were aweful.
Going to take out another script that we added after the move on next restart and see if that helps.

I did all of the startup parameters. exThreads=1
maxmem=2047
As an update, we have disabled the carepackage crap, gave us a fair amount of extra frames, shall see if it persists all the way untill before the restart. I came here because none of the usual fixes didn't seem to work :D
Will give you an update tomorrow after we hopefully get a full load of players

Nope, Scripts we have added in
-Self BB
-BTK Cargo
-R3K stuff
-Carepackages
-Enhances Study Body
-Remove Clothing
-Knockout Script
-Sleeping at tents to heal
-JSRS .bi2key
-Some map additions + trade city safe zones
No sarge AI or any other AI.
We didn't have the BTK cargo on the old server so when the server population drops down later tonight we will pop a new mission file up with that disabled. We won't be able to test untill the pop picks up again tomorrow.

CPU is a Dual Core Xeon @ 3.5GHz - Given how ARMA handles multiple cores, this should be better than the quad core
2GB of RAM (is plenty for the server usage never goes above 1200MB)
15k RPM SAS Drive
Gbit net
Running a 50 slot server
Specs shouldnt be an issue.
There is no desync at all in game, and the epoch traders are working fine (on the DayZ ST server they took miniutes to load the sell menu, if they managed to load the sell menu) The only issue is the frames. Also not my PC, this thing usually gets 80-100 frames.
I am just at a loss as to why we are getting the performance we are getting, I have no idea as to why it is happening - It shouldnt be. Using Task Manager for a basic resource usage display, we hover at around 70% CPU and total system RAM usage is around 1.5GB RAM

So, we recently moved a DayZ Epoch Chernarus server from a DayZ.st server to a dedicated box. On paper, the dedicated box is much more powerful, an extra 1.5GHz albeit on fewer cores. It is also my understanding that 2GB of RAM (what we have) is plenty for at least vanilla DayZ.
Anyway, the server is running, the errors we were getting being BEye Filters or certain scripts not functioning correctly are now fixed. Traders are functioning perfectly all of the time. However, we are seeing worse performance in game (server is running at 2fps, using just over 1GB of RAM) I have tried using different startup parameters to no noticeable effect.
Anyway, I came here in the hope that you can point me in a vague direction as to where I should look to improve on this. Would cleaning out the database of all of the other instances of Epoch help for instance?
Dedicated server ( need help )

Tried helping this guy, set up the first server, got paid all legit and everything. When his second server camp up I was getting hive.ex errors popping up. Waited for the client to sort the access out, next day out of the blue I get accused of "stealing his steam account"
