Reloading The Database
You may wish to reload the TapeTrack Database for the following reasons:
- You have loaded a lot of randomly organized data and the database pages have become unbalanced.
- You have deleted a lot of data and the database contains a lot of slack space.
- You have lost the database log files or the database has become inconsistent with the database log files.
- You upgraded your Server to the latest version and the large gap between versions requires update of database architecture.
var/db and var/dblogs directory and restore from a backup.
Automatic Reloading Of The Database
Preferred method for reloading the database as the script not only handles the reload for you, it makes the clean-up after the reload a lot easier.
Stop the Framework Server if it is running.
Open File Explorer and navigate to TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\var\db
Delete the folder $Save if it exists from a previous database reload.
In File Explorer and navigate to TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\scripts
Right click the file Reload.bat and select Run as administrator
Click Yes to the popup to allow the script to run. If the script closes immediately, check to make sure the Framework Server is not running.
From the command window, read through the output and click Y to continue the reload procedure.
After the script finishes and the command window closes, start the Framework Server and login to TapeMaster to confirm the procedure completed correctly.
