A system database stored in IMC8 can be loaded into the database memory on the
MCP-IPx card at any time.
Loading the database from IMC8 generally takes several minutes. During
this process, the Coral system is non-operational.
Loading a database can be useful for installing the database of an existing system into
the database memory of another system that will have a substantially similar
configuration. Similarly, a database can be created by programming a system off-line at
another location (perhaps at the distributor's facilities). The database can then be
loaded at a convenient time at the intended site.
1. From the Database Flash Menu, press 1 to load a database from IMC8.
The system will display the following message:
CAUTION: Database contents will be lost & system will
restart !!!
Proceed with restore (Y/N) ? [N]
2.
If
Y
is selected, the system prompts to select a source file number, either DB0.DEF
or DB1.DEF with:
FILE (0/1) - [0]
3. Press 0 or 1 , according to the table below, to begin loading the database stored in
IMC8.
The following prompt appears:
EXECUTE (Y/N) - [N]
4. If you type Y , the system goes through the following retrieval conditions check
sequence:
a. Verify that the internal flags are present in the database to be loaded.
3 Loading (Restoring) from IMC8
Loading a database from IMC8 into the system database memory destroys the original
database information stored in the database memory and overwrites it with information
in the IMC8 database file. Once overwritten, the original database cannot be recovered.
Database File Name PI Entry File Description
DB0.DEF 0 Daily backup automatically at a preset time
DB1.DEF 1 Technician copy for manual backup
