how to save the database.
• When you re-initialize the database, all users are logged out of the management server.
• Ignore the warning messages in the command prompt window that pops up when the
dbAdmin.bat file is double-clicked. See ”Warning Messages During Reinitializing the
Database” on page 241 for more information.
