Maintain Libraries in Server Console
Use the server console to create, manage, and delete libraries. The console
displays the list of Content Center libraries currently installed on the server.
Using the Backup command, you can create a back-up of an existing library
on the server. Select a library from the list to manage it.
A Content Center library is contained within a SQL Server database. The
database is comprised of a pair of files with the extensions MDF and LDF.
These files together make one library and need to be maintained together.
Create New Libraries
You can create a new read-write or read-only Content Center library, which
can be configured for use in either a local or an Autodesk Inventor project
that accesses the Content Center libraries from a central server.
Create a library
1 In the server console, select the Libraries folder in the navigation pane.
2 Click Actions ➤ Create Library.
3 Enter a name for the new library.
4 Select a library partition from the drop-down list.
5 Enter a name for the library database.
6 Click OK.
Delete Libraries
Deleting a library detaches the selected library from the database server, and
deletes the data files (.mdf and .ldf) from the hard disk. All data contained in
the library is permanently deleted.
Delete a library
1 In the server console, select a library you want to delete in the navigation
pane.
2 Click Actions ➤ Delete Library.
3 Click OK.
