Creation of the FOXMAN‑UN Database

User Manuals : FOXMAN-UN under Linux - User Manual : Core Component : The Database System : Creation of the FOXMAN‑UN Database

Please note:

The FOXMAN‑UN database is created automatically during the FOXMAN‑UN installation process. This database will not contain any network nodes yet. If you have been running an installation already before, you will need to restore the database backup of the previous installation. For details see Database Migration.

If for any reason the existing FOXMAN‑UN database needs to be replaced by an empty one, the command “edbcreate” can be used. Use the option -f only for this purpose.

The edbcreate command has the following options:

[nemsec@nemsrv ~]$ edbcreate --help

Usage: edbcreate [OPTION]…

Options: -d, --database=DB_NAME Name of the database (Optional).

-e, --create-empty-db Create an empty database (No bitmaps, backgrounds) (Optional).

-f, --force-recreation-db Force the destruction and the recreation of the database (Optional).

-w, --without-progress-cursor Without progress cursor. This parameter is optional. The default behavior is with progress cursor.
