Essentia provides a number of programs to make the administration and maintenance of a database server easy. This tools, used with IDEAFIX provide a complete control over the database.
-w Saves the performed operations in the RunLogFile specified in the configuration file.
-r Reproduces the operations saved in the RunLogFile specified in the configuration file.
-v Verbose. Shows additional information on the state and the operations performed by the server.
-f runs the server in foreground (dedicated mode).
-e exhaustively verifies the transactions before each checkpoint.. This may take longer, depending mainly on the size of the schemas handled by the server.
-m runs the server as a mirroring server
-t num behavior of a transaction where more than one server is working. The possible values are: 0: End, 1:Abort, 2:Force End , 3:Force Abort.
-? Shows the command's syntax.
-h shows the command's syntax and options.
<server> server configuration file name
-b suppress identification banner.
-w Shows also the name of the host, the user's name, the process starting hour and the number of messages processed.
-f shows all the previous information plus the user's gourp name, the number of objects it is using, the client ID and its lock state.
-e exhaustively verifies the transactions before each checkpoint.. This may take longer, depending mainly on the size of the schemas handled by the server.
-? Shows the command's syntax.
-h shows the command's syntax and options.
-w Saves the performed operations in the RunLogFile specified in the configuration file.
-r Reproduces the op erations saved in the RunLogFile specified in the configuration file.
-f shuts the server down even when there are clients running or the server is corrupted
-u shuts down the server unconditionally. It is used when the server has entered in a loop and doesn't answer to the client's messages (e.g., when it has ran out of disk space, or it lacks a ccess permissions).
-w waits for the end of the server.
-t num number of seconds it waits to shutdown after sending warnings to secondary servers (default: 20 s).
-? Shows the command's syntax.
-h shows the command's syntax and options.
Warning: The options ``-f''and ``-u''must be used with care, because the force the server to shutdown incondition ally and without consulting the clients that are running. This doesn't affect the database, but interrupts the process that were running.
Options
-b suppress identification banner.
-d Specifies the file or device to use. The default is ``/dev/tape''.
-p Doesn't erase the copied journal files.
-? Shows the command's syntax.
-h shows the command's syntax and options.
-d Specifies the file or device to use. The default is ``/dev/tape''.
-t n performs incremental backups each ``n'' minutes.
-r Indicate that the file stated in the ``-d''option is a regular and not a stream. This way, each that a new backup is created, the file will be added a new extension to avoid writing over the older file.
-f runs the backup process in foreground (dedicated mode).
-p Doesn't erase the copied journal files.
-? Shows the command's syntax.
-h shows the command's syntax and options.
-f Forces the checkpoint when the server is corrupted.
-p Performs a transaction consistency checkpoint, instead a cache consistency checkpoint.
-? Shows the command's syntax.
-h shows the command's syntax and options.
-t Time in seconds to wait between screen information updates. If this option is not used, the program will update the information on screen each time a key is pressed.
-? Shows the command's syntax.
-h shows the command's syntax and options.
