Remote Operations

The options under Remote on the main Adminmenu enable a System Administrator at the Hub or a Satellite to carry out administrative functions for constructor databases at Satellite locations. The constructor database for an administered location must be Primary at the administered location. The Admin daemons must be running.

1. From the Admin menu bar, set the Administering option gadget to the location where the user wants to administer databases, then select the appropriate Remote option.

   The options are as follows:

   Global Change Management

   Locking and Isolation

   Synchronisation

   Data Recovery

   Recover Database

   Remote Expunge

   Integrity Checker

   The effects of these operations are the same as if they were carried out locally. Generally, use the Remote options from the Hub, the Satellite itself, or the administering location. However, you can use Remote > Integrity Checker from any location.

   Note:
   Extract databases cannot usefully be checked in isolation (using CHECK FILE), since access to the extract owner is required. This means that REMOTE CHECK cannot be used on Extract databases (other than the extract master).
