Using the DBVALID Command-line Utility
To validate the EPICenter database running under Windows NT, use the command:
<install_dir>\database\dbvalid -c “uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbf=<install_dir>\basecamp.db”
Under Solaris, use the command:
<install_dir>/database/dbvalid -c “uid=dba;pwd=sql;dbf=<install_dir>/basecamp.db”
This example assumes a database user ID of dba,withpasswordsql.Thesearethe
defaults used when the database server is installed through the EPICenter installation
process. If you have changed your database user ID and password, substitute your actual
user ID and password in the command.
<
install_dir> is the directory where the EPICenter software is installed. Substitute the
actualdirectory name in the command.
This operation should report no errors. If there are errors, the system should be stopped
and a backup database copiedinto place. See“Installing a Backup Database” on page E-6.
If there are no backups, the EPICenter software must be re-installed.
