Reuniting a Split Database (AvidWG Only)
237
Follow one of these procedures to reunite a split database:
• If the _InternalData folder is already located on the Interplay Engine, see “Reuniting a Split
Database (AvidWG Only)” on page 237
.
• If the _InternalData folder is located on a shared storage workspace, or split between the
Interplay Engine and shared storage, see
“Reuniting a Split Database (AvidWG and
_InternalData)” on page 241
.
These procedures refer to two different types of backups:
• Interplay database backup: A backup copy of the Interplay database created by the
automated backup system built into the Interplay Engine. For more information, see
“Creating and Restoring Database Backups” on page 29.
• Archive database backup: A copy of the Interplay database manually created by using a
third-party tool that can handle long path names (longer than 256 characters). Two examples
are Robocopy (contained in rktools.exe, available on Microsoft.com) and 7-Zip. For more
information, see
“Using an Archiving Tool for Backup” on page 40 and documentation for
the third-party tool.
If you create an archive backup, keep in mind that creating a complete archive backup can
take several hours. You must lock and deactivate the database before creating the archive.
You can save time by removing old backups from the _Backup folder, located by default in
\\IEServer\WG_Database$\AvidWG\_Backup.
Reuniting a Split Database (AvidWG Only)
To reunite a split database (AvidWG only):
1. If you are working on a cluster system, make sure that cluster services that provide the local
S drive are running.
2. Lock the database to make sure that no user can access it:
a. In the Database section of the Interplay Administrator window, click Lock/Unlock
Database.
b. Select the database in the Unlocked Databases list.
c. Click Lock Database.
The database name appears in the Locked Databases list.
3. Deactivate the database:
a. In the Database section of the Interplay Administrator window, click Manage
Databases.
b. Select the database name in the Databases list.
c. Click Deactivate.
