2.3 Database Management

The following information is stored in the EMS database.

•Event and access logs

•EMS configuration

•Device configuration and status information

Use the Database Management screens to back up logs and EMS and SNMPc configurations and restore selected backed up files.

2.3.1 Database Synchronization

The EMS is able to synchronize the device tree and device status information with SNMPc. This means that when you add a device in EMS, the same change also applies in SNMPc and the new device icon is created in both the EMS and SNMPc screens. In addition, device status changes are reflected in both the EMS and the SNMPc screens.

EMS database is synchronized:

•when you launch the Switch Manager screen.

•when you click Map > Sync Map DB in EMS.

•automatically everyday at mid-night (this schedule is not configurable).

2.3.2Filename Convention

The EMS follows a pre-defined naming convention for backup files. Data is backed up in plain text format with a “txt” filename extension. The general structure of the filename is <type>.txt (for example, AccessLog.txt).
