omnidbinit
SYNOPSIS
omnidbinit -version | -help
omnidbinit [-force]
DESCRIPTION
The omnidbinit command initializes the Application Recovery Manager internal
database (IDB). All information about sessions, media and objects is lost after the
initialization. The command does not delete IDB transaction logs. The command
creates a gap in the sequence of IDB transaction logs; when a roll forward operation
is performed using the omnidbrestore command, the operation applies only the
transaction logs created before the initialization of the IDB.
The IDB directory structure has to exist in order to initialize the IDB successfully. You
can re-create the IDB directory structure by copying it from the
AppRM_home\NewConfig\ directory.

The command can only be used locally on the Cell Manager.
