Overview

The JADE Database Administration utility (jdbadmin) is a command line interface similar to the single user offline batch database utility (jdbutilb), but is one that can execute database administrative operations, including file partition-related operations, online in multiuser mode or offline in single user mode.

The JADE Database Administration utility assumes the credentials of the user account executing the operating system process. This program must be executed on the same machine as the database server node.

The user account executing the jdbadmin process must be one of the following.

When running in single user mode, the account executing the jdbadmin process must have write access to files in the target database directory.

When you run jdbadmin and connect to a database server, there is an authentication process in which the server creates a key file that the client has to open. The jdbadmin.template client template file is created with special Access Control Lists (ACLs) and is used to create the JADE Database Administration utility per‑session key files in the database directory. By default, template files are created in the JADE HOME directory. You can use the ACLTemplateDirectory parameter in the [JadeEnvironment] section of the JADE initialization file to control the location of the template files.

For details about the parameters that provide advanced diagnostic capabilities when performing certify and freespace evaluation operations, see "Database Diagnostics Section [DBUtil]", in the JADE Initialization File Reference.
