Managing Databases

Reinitializing databases

Reinitializing a database closes all open connections and creates new ones. This can be useful to force a reconnection to a database system.

Deactivating databases

Deactivating a database closes connections to the database without deleting its configuration. JMap Server can no longer query the database. Deactivating is useful when the database stops responding and causes delays in the local server.

Deleting databases

Deleting a database deletes the connection configuration for the database system. The data contained in the database is not affected at all.

Database statuses

Each database has a status. The status indicates the condition of the database connection. The following table describes the possible statuses of a database.

Statuses
Error	The database connections are broken. The database cannot be used until the error is resolved and the connections are reopened. Reinitializing the database might correct the problem. You can view a description of the error by clicking on the word Error displayed in red.
Inactive	The database connections are closed but they are configured. JMap can no longer query the database.
Connected	The database connections were created successfully and are ready to be used.
