Managing Multiple Databases Efficiently
91
• 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 multi-viewer
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 multi-viewer, and working online in XEdit, you are actually editing the database
that is located inside the multi-viewer’s file system. There is one database per multi-viewer. An expansion
system, comprising two Kaleido-X (7RU) frames, is also managed through a single database. A cluster
system includes one database for each multi-viewer in the cluster. When you have completed your
changes, create a backup of the current database and store it in a secure location on your PC. In the case
of a cluster or cascade system, make a separate backup from each member.
To back up the current Kaleido-X system:
1. On the Configure menu, point to Database , to Create backup , and then click All .
Online
1. Work in XEdit.
2. Backup database from
multi-viewer to
central repository.
1. Import database from multi-
viewer into local workspace.
2. Work in XEdit.
3. Backup database from local
workspace to central repository.
4. Export database from local
workspace to
multi-viewer
.
1. Retrieve backup from central repository into
local workspace.
2. Work in XEdit, if needed...
...and then backup database from local
workspace to central repository.
3. Export database from local workspace to
multi-viewer
.
