3.4.7 Reinitializing Web NMS

 

The process of reinitializing AdventNet Web NMS database is referred to as reinitializing Web NMS. AdventNet Web NMS maintains data and configuration details in a relational database. The database tables used for storing configuration information is referred to as configuration tables and those created for storing data are referred to as data tables. Database tables are created both when Web NMS server is started and at runtime. On reinitializing Web NMS, all the data tables and configuration tables are dropped from the database. You can reinitialize the database either through the user interface or command line mode.

 

Reinitializing Database Through UI Mode

 

To reinitialize the database through the UI Mode,

The Reinitialize Web NMS Database dialog box prompts you to confirm if you want to reinitialize the database. Clicking on the Yes button will drop all the data and configuration details stored in the database.

 

 

Reinitializing Database Through Command Mode

 

Database can be reinitialized by invoking the following script:

 

reinitialize_nms.bat/sh MODE <Parameter>

 

where Parameter should be ALL

 

When you try to reinitialize the database, a check is made to ascertain whether the Web NMS server is running. If it is running, the database will not be reinitialized. The database will be reinitialized only when Web NMS is not running. When the Web NMS server is running with TCP as the mode of communication between BE and FE, the database can not be reinitialized through the reinitialize_nms.sh/bat script.

 

Internationalization Support

 

To Internationalize Reinitialize NMS UI, edit the file ReinitializeNmsResources.properties present in the <Web NMS Home>/html directory. The values for the keys should be substituted by new values.
