4.6.7 Analyzing periodic maintenance needs

We recommend that you perform the following maintenance during operation. Decide when maintenance should be performed.

Decide when and at what interval you should back up operation data and reorganize the database. To create a backup or reorganize the database, you need to stop the management server. Therefore, when creating a schedule, choose a day of the week and time when the management server is not used.

Tip

We recommend that you create a backup or reorganize the database on a regular basis.

Use one of the following methods to perform maintenance on the management server.

To perform maintenance by using the database manager:

  1. From the Start menu on the management server, start the database manager.

  2. In the dialog box that appears, select the menu item you want to execute.

  3. Follow the instructions in the database manager window to perform maintenance.

Maintenance is completed.

To perform maintenance by using commands:

  1. Use the stopservice command to stop the management server.

  2. Perform maintenance.

    • To back up operation data:

      Use the exportdb command to create a backup.

    • To reorganize the database:

      Use the reorgdb command to reorganize the database.

  3. Use the startservice command to start the management server.

Maintenance is completed.

Important

If the management server in a single-server configuration or the primary management server in a multi-server configuration is in a cluster configuration, use the cluster software function to start and stop cluster resources on the management server.

If the management server is not in a cluster configuration, you can also use the exportdb or reorgdb command with the -a option specified to perform maintenance. In this case, perform only step 2 above. Steps 1 and 3 are automatically performed.

Tip

If an error occurs on the management server, you can restore the data by using the importdb command with the backup data specified as an argument. You can also back up, restore, and reorganize the database by using the database manager.
