Starting an Engine

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

New current state and history log database tables are created

newLog

during the primary engine unit startup process. All current state

 

and history log information stored in an existing database will be

 

lost.

newState

New current state and registration database tables are created

newRegistration

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.
