*When you have redundant servers, you have redundant ERDBs. *The primary ERDB is located on the secondary server and the secondary ERDB is located on the primary server. The for keeping the primary ERDB on the secondary server is to eliminate load on the primary server while working in the ERDB. * Also, when you have redundant ERDBs you can see the synchronization status between the primary and redundant ERDBs. *The status readings between ERDBs will be either no-sync, indicating that the ERDBs are not synced; sync, indicating the ERDBs are synced; sync-fail indicating synchronization between ERDBs failed; or Synching, indicating that the ERDBs are currently synching.

DBAdmin Functions for the ERDB, contd.
A lock dialog box will appear when you attempt to open a locked CM in Control Builder after an abnormal application termination

EXP20R300 - EPKS CEE C200/C300/ACE
Implement W2K Domain Controller
*When you open a control module from the control builder project tab, the erdb puts a lock on that control module. This prevents another person from working on your control module while you have it open. If you attempt to open a control module which is already open you will see this window* indicating the control module is locked. It is important to note that if control builder shuts down while you are working on a control module, that control module will remain locked and not allow you to reopen it. If this happens, you will have to clear locks for that particular control module. Let’s look at how to clear locks….

ERDB Active Locks allows you to open a locked CM

*Similar to ERDB Active Locks are *CAB Active locks. If you are working with Custom Algorithm Blocks on an ACE node, they will have locks placed on them whenever they are open in control builder. To clear these locks, click on the CAB Active Locks folder and use the *Tools menu item to clear these locks.

ERDB Admin Tasks displays the ERDB administration tasks
Other Tools for C200
Initialize Database - Restores the Clean database (ps_erdb_clean.bak) in the Primary ERDB.
Detach Database - Shutdowns the database services, detaches the Primary ERDB, copies and attaches database to the c:\Temp directory location, re-attaches Primary ERDB and restarts database services.
Database Consistency - Checks the consistency of the database and rebuilds indexes using the SQL Server.
Update Statistics - Runs DBCC REINDEX to reorganize data and index pages followed by update statistics.
Expand Database - Expands the size of the database (only accessible if you are with 25% of the max size of 512,000).
Backup Database - Creates a backup copy of the current database as a ".bak" file under the user specified name and in the user selected directory location on a local drive through the “Backup To” dialog box. A common directory location is c:\Program Files\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Engineering Tools\System\ER.
Restore Database - Restores the user selected backup database (*.bak) in the primary ERDB through the Restore From dialog box. The default directory is c:\Program Files\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Engineering Tools\System\ER.

The following tasks are only available for redundant servers
Other Tools for C200
*There are 4 additional admin tasks available for redundant servers.
*If you find yourself in a situation where you need to restore the primary or secondary ERDBs from their redundant partners, you can use the Recover Primary or Secondary Database tool buttons.
*When you recover a database using the two previous tools, you will be required to disable database replication using the Disable Replication tool. After your recovery is complete you must use the Enable replication tool to re enable the replication of the primary ERDB to the secondary. Note that once you disable database replication, The replication function will not automatically start back up.
You must manually re enable replication.
Recover Primary Database - Recovers Primary database from secondary database. If a valid Primary (master) ERDB exists, it merely resets the mastership ID so that the primary database is the Design Master. If the master ERDB no longer exists, the utility first makes the secondary database (at SERVERA) the master temporarily. Then it replicates this database to the primary (SERVERB). Finally, it switches mastership back to the new copy at SERVERB.
Recover Secondary Database - Recovers Secondary database from Primary database. It creates a new replica from the Design Master, which is assumed to be located at the path set by data source `ps_erdb'. It creates the new replica at the server node previously specified during installation as the secondary ERDB server.
Enable Replication - Starts replication of the ERDB from the Primary to the Secondary.
Disable Replication - Stops the replication function completely. This is not a temporary interruption of the replication function.
Note: The primary ERDB resides on the backup Server (the primary Server is concentrating on control – not on database config. Stuff.)

Version control system (VCS) Admin Tasks
Other Tools for C200
Synchronize VCS - Synchronizes the Qualification and Version Control System
database with the Engineering Repository database and clears any QVCS locks.
Backup VCS Database - Creates a backup copy of the current QVCS database as a
".bak" file under the user-specified name and in the user-selected directory location.
Restore VCS Database - Restores the user-selected backup QVCS database
(.bak) in the primary ERDB through the Restore From dialog box.
Implement W2K Domain Controller
**Under the Version Control System or VCS Admin Tasks you have three icons. The first icon is the Synchronize VCS icon and will synchronize your VCS database with your ERDB while clearing any VCS locks in the system. The backup VCS database icon will allow you to make a backup of your current VCS database. Finally, the restore VCS database icon will allow you to restore your VCS database from a previously made backup.
