Appendix B Database Maintenance
Overview
When used, the utilities must be run from the C:\Program Files\Grass Valley\Aurora\DB
Maintenance directory of the machine whose database is being operated upon. The user
must be a member of the system’s Administrators group. For a local, stand-alone
machine, run the utilities at that workstation. For the central News database of a shared
storage system (NewsShare), run the utilities at the DSM.
To run any of the utilities, open a command window and type the command. The
following sections describe each utility and its usage. Note that filenames used in the
commands must be fully qualified.
Before running any of the utilities, follow these preparatory steps:
• For restore and drop operations, the News database must not be servicing clients.
Close all DNP applications that would use it.
• For DSM-based News databases, observe these constraints:
• Back up the database from the primary DSM.
• If automatic database backups are scheduled, they must be set to occur during
periods of extremely low system utilization, preferably when zero NewsShare or
are recording or playing clips.
• Stop all access before restoring or dropping the database.
• Take DSMs out of service before restoring or dropping the database.
• Close all SQL applications before restoring or dropping the database.
• Restore the database to the primary DSM.
