Resolution

To save an reload an existing ddm database you can do the following:

- cd to the $SPECROOT/bin directory

Enter the following command to shut down the Archive Manager where <HOST> is the hostname of the SpectroSERVER system:

- ./cmdC localhost 2 ARCHMGR

- cd to the $SPECROOT/SS/DDM directory and enter the following command to re-initialize the DDM database where <LH> is the landscape handle noted in step 4 above:

- ./ddm_save.pl -f savefilename

Initialize the ddmdb:

- ./ddm_load.pl -il <LH>

- Enter “y” when prompted.

Load the DDM savefile from above:

- ./ddm_load.pl -f savefile

- cd to the $SPECROOT/bin directory and enter the following command to start the Archive Manager:

- ./startSS.pl -> this will leave the SS alone and just start the archive manager
