Summary

This article describes how to reinitialize the adTempus database to clear all data.

Caution

This process will remove all data (job definitions, job history, and all other settings) from adTempus.

Procedure

1. Stop the adTempus service.

2. If you are running adTempus version 3.0.8, you must make a change to the database initialization script. If you are using a later version of adTempus, proceed to step 3.

a. Using a text editor (such as Notepad), open the "adtempusinitialdata.xml" file found in the "database" directory under the adTempus program directory.

b. Search for a line that reads "<OptionName>dbVersion</OptionName>".

c. The following line will read "<OptionValue>361</OptionValue>". Change the "361" to "362". (If the value was already set to "362", no change is necessary.)

d. Save the file.

3. Run the adtdbutil tool found in the adTempus program directory.

4. If you wish to preserve your old data in case of problems, use the Backup command to make a backup of the database.

5. Choose the Reinitialize Database command from the Tools menu, then click Continue to begin the reinitialization.

The database has now been reinitialized. Start the adTempus service to begin using your empty database.
