NODB

NODB bypasses initialization and preparation of the ENF event recording database (such as CA Datacom/AD). Use this option when the ENF database is not installed or is not to be used. If ENF is operating without a database, events are processed real-time and ENF event logging does not occur. Furthermore, ENF event management services such as checkpoint and archive/retrieval, are not available without a database.

NODB is a startup-only option. It cannot be issued as a command once ENF is started.

Do not confuse NODB with RECORD(NO). Even though RECORD(NO) disables the logging of events to the database, RECORD has no effect on database availability or operability. If NODB is omitted and RECORD(NO) is specified as a startup option, ENF still performs database initialization and preparation. This allows a RECORD(YES) command to be issued at a more suitable time.

Important! Specifying NODB along with startup option RECORD(YES) is a conflict that results in the posting of message CAS9216E and ENF startup termination.
