Restarting the Server
93
You can return to the Interplay Administrator window by clicking the Menu button, log out
of the Interplay Administrator tool and then log in again, and perform other database tasks.
To manually unlock the server after activating Exclusive Access, do one of the following:
t Log in to the Interplay Administrator from the host where you acquired Exclusive Access or
on the Engine host itself, click the Lock Server icon, then click Release Exclusive Access.
t In emergency situations, run the command-line program
NxNServerExclusiveAccessRelease.exe.
It is installed by default on the Interplay
Engine in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Interplay Engine\Server
Restarting the Server
Restarting the server disconnects any clients and shuts down the database before the server
process is restarted. You rarely need to restart the server. Typically, you restart the server if you
want to disconnect all clients and want to make sure no one is connected to the server so that you
can perform maintenance. For example, you might restart the server and then lock the database
as part of the process of moving the database.
Restarting only restarts the server process and not the server machine itself.
c
Depending on the size of the database, this process can take several minutes. Do not
attempt to reboot the server under any circumstances before this process is completed.
To restart the server process:
1. In the Server section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the Restart Server icon.
The Restart Server view opens.
2. Click Restart.
