Running administrative processes on demand
The following provides instructions on how to run administrative processes on demand.
To run Daily Admin on demand:
1. On the Setup menu, click System Activities. The System Activities Administration dialog box appears.
2. Under Administrative Processes, beside the time stamp of the Last Daily Admin run on box, click Run Now. The Daily Admin process window appears.
To run Weekly Admin on demand:
1. On the Setup menu, click System Activities. The System Activities Administration dialog box appears.
2. Under Administrative Processes, beside the time stamp of the Last Weekly Admin run on box, click Run Now.
a) In the Weekly Admin Options dialog box, the default is to synchronize all backup sets with a “normal” synchronization. If the Synchronize all sets check box is cleared:
• Weekly Admin performs a normal synchronization on any backup sets that have already been marked “Out of Sync”.
• In addition, Windows DS-Client will perform normal synchronization on a backup set if it detects any database inconsistencies that might cause it to be “Out of Sync”. (This does not apply to Linux DS-Clients.)
b) In the
Number of simultaneous synchronizations box, type how many synchronizations to run at the same time. For more information, see
“Synchronizing a backup set”.
3. Click OK.
NOTE: If you run Weekly Admin specifically to obtain a DS-Client database backup for recovery purposes, and you see synchronization for any backup sets, you should run Weekly Admin again to obtain the latest and most accurate backup of the DS-Client databases. This avoids repeating the synchronization process after the database is recovered.
