Managing Multiple Databases Efficiently
To avoid mistakes in managing databases, especially when multiple Kaleido-X frames are involved, it is
recommended to follow the rules below:
• Back up the database for each system to a central repository, separate from the local workspace you use
when working in XEdit offline.
• When using XEdit, limit yourself to a single workspace. When working online, the local workspace is not
used. When working offline, first either import the database from the appropriate Kaleido-X frame into
your XEdit workspace, or retrieve the latest backup for the system you wish to work on.
• When your work session in XEdit is complete always create a new backup of the database, regardless of
whether you were working online or offline.
The next sections describe three typical situations, summarized below:
Working Online
If you are connected to a Kaleido-X frame, and working online in XEdit, you are actually editing the
database that is located inside the Kaleido-X file system. There is one database per Kaleido-X frame. An
expansion system, comprising two Kaleido-X frames, is also managed through a single database. A cluster
