Reconfiguring a Database with the Administration Utility

Spectrum's Administration Utility provides commands that allow you to reconfigure an existing database from the command line. For example, you may need to deploy the data to multiple places in a clustered environment. The process involves exporting the database properties to a file, then importing the properties file to configure the database.

To reconfigure a previously-configured SPD database:

  1. At the Administration Utility command line run the egmglobaldb export command. This writes out a file that contains the properties of the database and paths for the new location. For example:
    egmglobaldb export --o outputpath/egmGlobalDbResource.txt.

    The output file can be named anything. It will be a JSON formatted file. If an output path is not provided, the file is written to the current folder.

  2. To configure the database, use the egmglobaldb import command to import the database properties and configure the database. The JSON file from the export is the input for the import operation. For example:
    egmglobaldb import --f egmGlobalDbResource.txt.
