Terminating database connections

To eliminate concurrency problems, terminate all active connections to the database by shutting down NetBackup before running nbdb_unload.

To terminate database connections

Shut down all NetBackup services by typing the following command:

Install_path\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpdown
Start the SQL Anywhere service by typing the following command:

Install_path\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpup -e SQLANYs_VERITAS_NB
Use one of the following methods to terminate database connections:
- Use the NetBackup Database Administration utility.
  
  See About the NetBackup Database Administration utility.
- Run nbdb_unload and indicate the outputs (database name, table lists, or schema only) and the destination directory.
Stop the SQL Anywhere service by typing the following command:

Install_path\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpdown -e SQLANYs_VERITAS_NB
Start up all NetBackup services by typing the following command:

Install_path\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpup

Symantec does not recommend using reload.sql to make a copy of the relational databases in a production environment. Use the NetBackup Database Administration utility or nbdb_backup to make a physical copy or use nbdb_move to relocate the database files.
