Overview

You can use the SDS methods provided by the JadeDatabaseAdmin class to integrate Synchronized Database Service (SDS) monitoring and administrative services into your own applications or to build a standalone application to administer a Synchronized Database Environment (SDE).

SDS is limited to keeping the database (that is, the *.dat) files synchronized.

It is your responsibility to keep any other files on which your applications rely synchronized; for example, JADE binaries, user DLLs, ActiveX controls, text files, pictures, documents, and so on.

You can call the JadeDatabaseAdmin class methods used to monitor and control SDS operations in an SDS-enabled system from primary and secondary systems, but some methods apply only to one database role or the other. For details about the Synchronized Database Service, see Chapter 1, "Administering a JADE Synchronized Database Service (SDS) Environment", in the JADE Synchronized Database Service (SDS) Administration Guide.
