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.
