11.10.4 Re-initializing a data DB area

This subsection describes how to re-initialize a specific data DB area.

Note

After data DB areas are created (initialized) during database initialization, you can delete a specific data DB area, and then can add a data DB area with the same name as the deleted one. This operation is called re-initialization of a data DB area.

To re-initialize a specific data DB area, you execute the adbmodarea command. However, you cannot use the adbmodarea command to complete re-initialization in one operation. Therefore, use the following procedure to re-initialize a data DB area.

Procedure

  1. Delete the data DB area that you want to re-initialize.

    For details about how to delete a data DB area, see 11.10.2 Deleting a data DB area.

  2. Add a data DB area again with the same name as the deleted one.

    For details about how to add a data DB area, see 11.10.1 Adding data DB areas.

For details about the adbmodarea command, see adbmodarea (Add and Change DB Areas) in the manual HADB Command Reference.

Important

Do not use the adbinit command when you re-initialize a specific data DB area.

Because the adbinit command initializes all DB areas, use the command when you perform database initial setup. If you execute the adbinit command when data DB areas already exist, all DB areas, including the ones other than data DB areas, are deleted.
