    10.1 PRM Simple Backup tool


    The PRM database and the Historian database is backed up/restored using the PRM Simple
    Backup Tool.

    Backup

    When backing up the databases using the PRM Simple Backup Tool, the following two files in
    the (PRM installation folder)/TOOL folder are used.
    z

    PRMBackup.bat: Backup command file

    PRMBackup.par: Backup parameter file

    Procedure
    1. Confirm that SQL Server is running.
    2. Check if the drive in which PRM is installed has enough free disk space. At least several
    hundred megabytes will be needed to back up the databases. By default, backup files will be

    - 114 -

    created in the PRM installation directory. If the PRM installation directory does not have
    enough free disk space, change the backup file path or log file path specified in the backup
    parameter file.
    3. Run (PRM installation folder)ToolPRMBackup.bat. The backup program will run and
    backup files will be created in accordance with the specifications in the backup parameter
    file.
    Default settings in the backup parameter file are shown below.

    Restore

    When restoring the databases using the PRM Simple Backup Tool, the following two files in the
    (PRM installation folder)/TOOL folder are used.
    z

    2. Close PRM Client.
    3. Confirm that backup files are saved to the path specified in the restore parameter file.
    4. Run (PRM installation folder)ToolPRMRestore.bat.
    5. Restart the PC.
    Default settings in the restore parameter file are shown below.

    10.2 PRM System Backup script


    The PRM System Backup Script (PRMSAVE.bat) provides a tool for saving/restoring the
    conditions of the PRM system. Use this tool when replacing the PC in which PRM is installed,
    or reinstalling the OS.
    The PRM system components to be saved/ restored are as follows.
    z

    PRM database

    Historian database

    Parameter file of the PRM Simple Backup Tool

    Device template files

    Master data export files

    Device Viewer configuration files

    Device path configuration files

    Files managed by PLUG-IN applications

    Files managed by advanced diagnostic applications

    An overview of steps to operate the PRM System Backup Script is shown below.
    1.

    Open (PRM installation folder)TOOLPRMSAVE.bat, and modify the customizable items


    in accordance with the installation condition of the PC where PRMSAVE.bat will be run.

    2.

    Run (PRM installation folder)TOOLPRMSAVE.bat. Among the customizable items, you


    will find the setting for specifying the output drive. A folder of the same name as the
    computer will be created directly below the specified drive, and backup files will be created
    in this folder.

    3.

    On the PC where the system is to be restored, create a folder configuration of the same
    structure as those effective when the system was backed up.

    4.

    On the PC where you restore the backed-up data, double-click Computer name.reg.
    Registry information will be restored.

    5.

    On that same PC, double-click the backed-up Computer name.exe. Other files will be
    restored.

    6.

    To restore the database, double-click PRMRestore.bat at (PRM installation


    folder)TOOL on the PC where the database is to be restored.

    The following table explains folders and files when PRMSAVE.bat is executed

    11 Database maintenance tool


    The quantity increment of the messages stored in the PRM server and the diagnostic results
    stored in the diagnosis historian server may degrade the performance for displaying or searching
    the messages. Using the Database maintenance Tools we can optimize the PRM database and
    improve the performance.
    The package of Database Maintenance Tools consists of the tools for database archiving,
    retrieving and cleaning up as well as the tool of Tag Editor.
    Archive

    Archives the data in the PRM database into an archive file, and remove
    the Archived data from the PRM database.

    Retrieve

    Retrieves the data from an archive .le to the PRM database.

    Unretrieve

    Undo previous retrieve so as to remove the retrieved data from the PRM
    database.

    Delete

    Deletes the data from the PRM database instead of achieving the data.

    Auto Archive/ Delete

    The Auto Archive Function helps to automatically Archive the Maintenance info.

    The

    engineers can Auto Archive the data reducing the load on the PRM, thereby improving the
    performance of the system. Maintenance engineer can either Auto Archive the Data or Auto
    delete the data.

    Cleanup

    When devices are removed from the PRM database, the related data such as the operations

    - 119 -

    records regarding the devices will become obsolete, therefore, cleanup of the PRM database
    may be required. However, cleanup can only be performed on PRM database, not on Historian
    database.

    Tag Editor

    When devices are removed, the Tag Editor can be used to remove the obsolete data related to
    the deleted devices in the Historian database. The Tag Editor can only be used for editing the
    tags in the Historian database.
    Exercise: Auto Archiving Function
    1. Open the Database maintenance tool

    2. Set the destination for the Archive files, set the periodic Archive and enable the Auto Data

    processing. Select the Auto Archive Radio button and enter the retention period time.
