Database Management

The Database Management section covers the utilities provided by GTA to manage GTA Reporting Suiteís database, GTAsyslog and DBmanager; the flow of data through the system, and how to set up standard DSNs for each of GTA Reporting Suiteís supported databases.

DBmanager

DBmanager provides a licensing interface, verifies installation success and maintains your selected database by performing backups, data purges, data restores, log imports, format conversions, reinitializations, unlocking and repairs. DBmanager also contains a configuration interface for GTAsyslog and LogView. Functions in DBmanager used by GTA Reporting Suite and GTAsyslog are covered in this guide; functions specific to other products are covered in that productís guide.

Once DBmanager is installed, select DBmanager from the GTA sub-menu of the Windows Start Menu. There are three tabs, or menus, where you can find each of the utilities required to manage the database used for GTA Reporting Suite.
