RENEW (Global Project Administration)

Deletes a transaction database and creates a fresh version.

If a transaction database becomes corrupt, it may be necessary to delete it and then re-create it. Existing commands in the database may be retained by Reconfiguring to file before the Renew and from file after the Renew.

This daemon command is available with two options, namely DELETE and AT. It deletes an existing transaction database file at a Location and creates a fresh version.

The RENEW DELETE <DB> command is the preferred method of re-creating the transaction database file, as it works even when the database is too corrupt for the daemon to run. Note that <DB> must be the transaction database for the current location, as the command cannot be executed remotely.

When this command is used, ADMIN checks that all users have left AVEVA E3D™ and that the daemon has been shut down. Note that the check on the daemon takes up to 3 minutes. ADMIN then deletes the file for the transaction database (not its DB entry) and prompts the user to leave AVEVA E3D™ and restart the daemon. When the daemon is restarted, it will automatically recreate the transaction database file.

The RENEW <DB> AT <loc> command may be used to renew a transaction database remotely. Note that this command may fail, if the database corruption is severe and the daemon at <loc> cannot be started. All users must be out of AVEVA E3D™ for the command to run.

Alternatively, you may renew the transaction database by stopping the daemon and deleting its file outside AVEVA E3D™ (not its DB definition). The daemon will automatically create a new transaction database file when it is restarted.

It is recommended that, after renewing, the System Administrator should recover the transaction database at all secondary locations. This will prevent reverse propagation.

For further information about reconfiguring or renewing a transaction database, see Running Global Projects.

The RENEW command is not recorded in the transaction database.
