screen is central to good WMS housekeeping, as it represents a means of analyzing file management
transactions from one location.

Database Management
The WMS Database Management facility manages the WMS database. WMS uses a database to archive
and manage sites, users and configurations. Additionally, create a database backup image file that can
restore the WMS server configuration to its current state. Creating a backup image is a recommended
practice to periodically ensure WMS maintains device assets and data can be returned to their original
state (at the time the backup is made.). Periodically purge (remove) backups as WMS nears its 5 GB
storage capacity.
NOTE
When the WMS database is restored from a backup, the current state of the database is completely erased before
the backup image is applied. When restoring the WMS database, all users are logged off and the WMS process is
shut down and then brought back up.
For more information, see “Database Management” on page 175.
Logging
WMS generates log files and stores them internally within the WMS Server These files are used for
capturing server activity and errors that may occur. A file’s logging level can be modified to revise the
amount of information and detail captured in the event log.
For more information, see “Logging” on page 181.
License Management
WMS uses a License Management facility to assess the status of your license and manage the licenses
available to this version of WMS. A valid license allows you to legally use the product (for a specified
number of radio devices) and potentially add extra licenses to extend WMS to support more sites and
devices when needed.
For more information, see “License Management” on page 189.
