3.20 Command-driven database operations
The Item management database manages all information that users created or defined for JP1/IM - Service Support operation. This includes the information about target systems and processes set up by using JP1/IM - Service Support and the information about Items registered or updated by using JP1/IM - Service Support. In JP1/IM - Service Support Advanced Edition, you can also store past Items in the Item storage database.
Normally, the Item management database is updated from web browsers. However, commands can also be used to update the Item management database.
Commands are also used to maintain the Item management database and the Item storage database. For example, you can use commands to adjust the size of the databases, back up the databases, or recover the databases from a backup.
