6.5 Database
The configuration data of XMP1 networks are stored in a MS SQL 2000
database.
The MS SQL server should (in the current single-user version) be installed
on the same PC as the SOX software.
The MS SQL server can manage several (arbitrary) databases. The
configuration data of a XMP1 network are always stored in a database.
Currently, only one network is supported by each database. However, since
the MS SQL server can manage several databases, several XMP1
networks or several XMP1 network statuses can be stored.
When starting the SOX-NMS application, the database - and thus the
network - must be selected via the "Select Database" option.
The name of the database, which shall be used to store the configuration
data of a XMP1 network, can be freely selected. However, it is
recommended to clearly specify both the database and network.
Furthermore an additional version identifier, e.g. SOX version or date, is
recommended, since with a new SOX version a new database is created.
Example: Railtrack 4.0.3 or Railtrack Jan04 or Railtrack A
Database Management
Using the "Database -> Manage Database" SOX function, the database can
be managed. However, please note that the database used in the current
session is manageable only to a limited extent.
The following options are offered under the "Databases -> Manage
Database" function:
• Backup Database
• Restore Database
• Create Empty Database
• Rename Database
• Delete Database
