10.3.4 Restoring the CSV database files

Restore the database using the CSV backup files of the Asset Information Manager Subset database.

When you upgrade the OS or replace your PC, you can also migrate the Asset Information Manager Subset database.

Restoring the CSV-format database files involves the following processing:

Notes
  • Before you start restore processing, make sure that the Asset Information Manager Subset database has been created. If no Asset Information Manager Subset database has been created, use the Database Manager dialog box to create a new Asset Information Manager Subset database and then execute the restore processing.
  • Before you restore an Asset Information Manager Subset database, stop the services in the following order:
    1. World Wide Web Publishing Service or World Wide Web Publishing
    2. Commands and tasks of the Asset Information Synchronous Service and Asset Information Manager Subset
    3. JP1/Client Security Control - Manager (applicable if JP1/CSC is linked)
    To use Asset Information Manager Subset after you have used the Database Manager, start the services in the reverse order from which they were stopped.
  • If a connection pool has been set up in the ODBC database, the connected status will not change from the time that the Asset Information Manager Subset job was stopped until the timeout time set in the connection pool elapses. Therefore, wait for the connected status to change before restoring the database.

To restore the Asset Information Manager Subset database:

  1. In the Database Manager dialog box, choose Restore the database from CSV files and then click the Next button.
    The Restore the Database from CSV Files dialog box appears.
    In this dialog box, specify information such as the name of the folder containing the backup files of the Asset Information Manager Subset database.
