Link or Modify an HDB after Creating or Restoring a Project

It is recommended to link an History database to a project for storing project logs in History database. However, linking an History database is not mandatory while creating a project. You can also link an HDB after you have created, started, stopped, or restored a project. To link an History database, you must first create it. You may also link another History database.

  • A project is created/restored and is in the Stopped state under Projects in the SMC tree.
  1. In the SMC tree, select Projects > [Project].
  • The Project Settings tab displays details of the selected project.
  1. In the Server Project Information expander, from the Linked HDB drop-down list, select an History database.
    NOTE: By default, the drop-down list displays the History database linked to the selected backed-up project for restore.
  1. Click Save .
  • A confirmation message displays if the History database you are about to link to the project is already linked to another project.
  1. Click Yes.
  • A message displays if the linked History database’s system name does not match with the associated project’s system name. Click Yes to modify the linked History database’s system name.
    If you click No, the Linked HDB state displays as System name mismatch with the project (in red). It is indicated in red because the Linked HDB already contains data of the previously connected project with a different system name.
  • The Linked HDB state is updated to Connected, the system name of the History database is updated internally, and the selected History database gets linked to the selected project.
  • Click Start .
  • The selected project is started.
