jevdbinit

Function

The jevdbinit command initializes the event database. At command execution, the existing data is deleted and the event database is re-created.

The new start serial number is the number you specify or the number carried over from the event database before the data was deleted.

You can create a backup of the event database before initialization. Using the jevexport command, you can output the backup file to a CSV-format file. You cannot restore the backup file.

For details on the event database initialization, see 8.2 Initializing the event database.

Format

jevdbinit [-h event-server-name]
            [-s start-serial-number-in-event-database]
            [-f]
            {-b | -n}

Required execution permission

In Windows: Administrators (If User Account Control (UAC) for Windows is enabled, you must execute the command from the administrator console.)

In UNIX: Superuser

Command directory

In Windows:

installation-folder\bin\

In UNIX:

/opt/jp1base/bin/

Arguments

-h event-server-name

Specify the name of the event server at which to initialize the event database. If you omit this option, the logical host name set in the environment variable JP1_HOSTNAME is assumed as the event server name. If the environment variable JP1_HOSTNAME is not set, the event server name is assumed to be the same as the local host name. Specify the event server name as a character string of no more than 255 bytes.

-s start-serial-number-in-event-database

Specify the start serial number of the event database when it is re-created after initialization. The database will be created with the serial number specified in this option. The specifiable range is 0 to 2,147,483,647.

If you omit this option, the serial numbers carry on from the deleted event database.

-f

If you omit this option, a message asks if you are sure you want to execute the command. (The displayed message is Is This OK?[Y/N].) Specify this option if user confirmation is unnecessary.

-b

Specify this option to back up the event database before it is initialized. You must specify either -b or -n.

The backup files are saved to the same directory as the event database. The following files are backed up:

Event database file name	Backup file name
IMEvent{0|1}.idx	0IMEvent{0|1}.idx
IMEvent{0|1}.dat	0IMEvent{0|1}.dat
IMEvent{0|1}.fwd	0IMEvent{0|1}.fwd

Note that the disk space occupied by the event database doubles when it is backed up. If you have kept a previous database backup file, it will be deleted when you specify the -b option.

-n

Specify this option if you do not want to back up the event database before it is initialized. You must specify either -b or -n. If you have kept a previous database backup file, it will remain when you specify the -n option.

Notes

• You cannot execute this command while the event service is active.
• You cannot start the event service while this command is executing.
• If the event database is empty, executing this command returns a value of 7 (indicating that the event database is corrupted), but you can ignore this result.

Return values

0	Normal end
1	Invalid argument
2	Insufficient execution permission
3	I/O error
4	Insufficient memory
5	Undefined event server name
6	No event database
7	The event database is corrupt.
8	The event database cannot be initialized because the event service is active.
255	Other error
