This sections explains how to maintain Address Manager database.
The following database maintenance functions are available in the Address Manager
user interface:
| Functions | Description |
|---|---|
| Database Replication | Configures a primary appliance with one or two standby servers to provide for database redundancy and disaster recovery. For information, refer to Replicating the database for Address Manager disaster recovery. |
| Database Archive | Saves user transaction, system event, and user session information to files on the server and purges this information from the database. For information, refer to Archiving and purging the database. |
| Database Cleaner | Searches for and replaces host record objects that have the same host name, but that are assigned to multiple IP addresses. This function corrects a specific condition introduced by the migration tools in previous versions of Address Manager. For information, refer to Database Cleaner. |
| Database Re-index | Rebuilds the Address Manager database index. Use this function if you notice a decline in Address Manager performance. For information, refer to Re-indexing the database. |
| Transaction History Writing | Controls the writing of transaction history to the database. For information, refer to Controlling the writing of transaction history information. |
Use the Database Archive and Database Re-index functions as part of ongoing database maintenance to keep the database at an efficient and manageable size. The Database Cleaner function addresses a specific issue and you need to use it only once to clean up your database.
