Executing the JADE Database Utility
Use the menu bar or toolbar icons to access the JADE Database utility commands.
To execute the JADE Database utility, perform one of the following actions
-
Click the Jade Database Utility icon in the JADE program folder.
-
In Explorer or File Manager, access the directory in which your JADE binary files are located (for example, c:\jade\bin) and then double-click on the jdbutil program file.
Operations such as specifying backup locations or restoring database files or transaction journals are performed when no database is open. You must open a database to perform other operations.
When you attempt to open a database and recovery is required, automatic recovery is not performed. (This enables you to defer the recovery of the database, if required.) If you want to initiate recovery, you must manually do so by selecting the Initiate Recovery command from the JADE Database utility Operation menu. You can then open the database.
For details, see "Using the Initiate Recovery Command" and "Opening a JADE Database", later in this chapter.
The Jade Database Utility background window, shown in the following image, is then displayed.
When you first invoke the JADE Database utility, you can perform only the specification of backup locations or the restoration of database files or transaction journals until you open a database. (Click the Open Database toolbar button to quickly access the Open Database dialog.)
Use the File menu in the Database Utility window to perform one of the administrative actions listed in the following table.
