Managing Multiple Databases Efficiently
Managing Multiple Databases Efficiently
To avoid mistakes in managing databases, especially when multiple multiviewers are
involved, it is recommended to follow the rules below:
• Back up the database for each system to a central repository, separate from the local
workspace you use when working in XEdit offline.
• When using XEdit, limit yourself to a single workspace. When working online, the local
workspace is not used. When working offline, first either import the database from the
appropriate multiviewer into your XEdit workspace, or restore the latest backup for the
system you wish to work on.
• When your work session in XEdit is complete, always create a new backup of the
database, regardless of whether you were working online or offline.
The next sections describe three typical situations, summarized below:
Working Online
If you are connected to a multiviewer, and working online in XEdit, you are actually editing
the database that is located inside the multiviewer’s file system. There is one database per
multiviewer. An expansion system, comprising two Kaleido-X
(7RU) frames, is also managed
through a single database. A cluster system includes one database for each multiviewer in
the cluster, which are backed up or restored as a single operation. When you have
completed your changes, create a backup of the current system and store it in a secure
location on your PC.
To back up the current Kaleido-X system
1On the Configure menu, point to Database, to Create backup, and then click All.
