Overview
Figure 3-1 shows the ICM databases and how changes made to the Distributor AW
local data are automatically applied to the central database.
Figure 3-1 The ICM Databases
The Initialize Local Database tool copies data from the central database to the
local database on the Distributor AW. This tool is used to update the local database
on the Distributor AW when the AW is first installed. Optionally, you can use this
tool to update the local database at any time.
Note Until the Initialize Local Database tool operation is completed, configuration
changes cannot be made.
Subsequently, the Update AW process forwards to the local database any changes
made to the central database. Changes made to configuration data and scripts are
automatically copied from the central database back to the local database.
To make access to the real-time data as efficient as possible, the data are stored in
memory in temporary tables. These temporary tables actually reside in the
TEMPDB database; however, you can access them as if they were tables within
the AWDB database.
