Running the database creation utility

A database creation utility (createdbu) is installed with the Log Server service. You can use this command-line utility to create or upgrade the Log Database manually.

To use the database creation utility, you must provide a database name and the IP address of the Microsoft SQL Server machine.

  • If the database is not found on the SQL Server machine, a new Log Database is created.
  • If the database name is found, the existing database is upgraded.
  • If the database name is found but the database does not require upgrade, the utility takes no action.
