Administering System Databases

You can administer the System database for a Satellite location from the Satellite location itself, from another Satellite location, or from the Hub, provided that the System database is primary at your administering location:

• If the System database is primary at your location, you can give most commands.

• If the System database is not primary at your location, then it is opened as read-only. You can Query the database but not make any changes to it.

If you need to give commands and make changes to a System database, you must first make sure that the database is primary at your current location. Refer to Changing the Primary Location for further information.

From the Admin menu bar, set the Administering option gadget to the location where you want to administer the System database.

Once you have selected a System database, you can carry out most administrative tasks, including housekeeping tasks such as the following:

• Merging changes.

• Removing phantom users and elements.

• Checking the integrity of databases (Database Integrity Checker (DICE)).

For information on how to remotely merge changes, remove phantom users and check database integrity, and carry out other remote operations, refer to Hub Administration.
