StartSnapshot

The StartSnapshot action conditions the database for recovery from a non‑Jade backup, by performing a changeDbAccessMode(JadeDatabaseAdmin.Mode_Snapshot, JadeDatabaseAdmin.Usage_Update); method call. (For details about taking the database out of snapshot mode, see "EndSnapshot", elsewhere in this document.)

The syntax of the StartSnapshot action is as follows.

jdbadmin action=StartSnapshot
         [path=database-path]
         [ini=initialization-file-name]
         [server=multiUser]

The following is an example of the StartSnapshot command.

jdbadmin path=d:\salesdb ini=d:\salesdb\jade.ini action=StartSnapshot
