Chapter 4 Managing Engines 111
3. Select a startup option.
A number of options are available for creating new engine database tables
when starting an engine (see “Managing an Engine Database” on page 124):
Startup Option Description
warm No new database tables are created during the primary engine
unit startup process. All information stored in the existing
database will be recovered. This option cannot be used the first
time an engine is started.
Note: If you need to maintain data between iIS releases, or dump
and restore data for other reasons, you can use the
Dump/Restore utility. For details, see “Dumping and Restoring
Data” on page 126.
cold All new database tables (current state, registration, and history
log) are created during the primary engine unit startup process.
The cold option should always be used the first time an engine is
started. If used in subsequent engine starts, however, the cold
option will cause deletion of the existing engine database before
creation of a new one—all current state information, registration,
and history log data will be lost.
newLog New history log database tables are created during the primary
engine unit startup process. All history log information stored in
an existing database will be lost.
newState New current state database tables are created during the primary
engine unit startup process. All current state information stored
in an existing database will be lost.
newState
newLog
New current state and history log database tables are created
during the primary engine unit startup process. All current state
and history log information stored in an existing database will be
lost.
newState
newRegistration
New current state and registration database tables are created
during the primary engine unit startup process. All current state
and registration information stored in an existing database will
be lost.
CAUTION Be careful when specifying startup options. All options other
than “warm” can result in loss of data. You are asked to confirm
a cold start.
