Using the Admin Menu

Use the Admin menu commands to perform one of the actions listed in the following table.

Command	For details, see…
Initiate Takeover / Initiate Hostile Takeover	Taking Over the Primary Database Role
Make Primary	Making a Database with an Undefined Role the Primary Database
Refresh	Refreshing the SDS Admin Database View
Exit	Closing the SDS Administration Application

Actions that do not apply to the current database role are disabled (for example, the Initiate Hostile Takeover command is displayed only when the SDS Administration application is attached to a secondary database).

The Make Primary command is displayed in the Admin menu only when the SDS database is initialized in non-SDS mode; that is, the database role is undefined. For details, see "Making a Database with an Undefined Role the Primary Database", earlier in this chapter.
