Utility to Defrost Cold DB Files

CA EEM provides a utility to defrost cold db files. You must both restore and defrost the files from cold to warm state before you can run queries against the files and view live reports. The sem utility provides this functionality. The sem utility is found at the following location on the CA EEM Server:

• Windows: %IGW_LOC%
• Linux and UNIX: $IGW_LOC

To set up sem utility

1. Set environment variables based on your operating system:
   • Linux or Solaris

     Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = <sem_Extraction_Folder>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     

   • AIX

     Export LIBPATH = <sem_Extraction_Folder> :$LIBPATH
     

   • HP-UX

     Export SHLIB_PATH= <sem_Extraction_Folder> :$SHLIB_PATH
     

2. Run the sem.exe.
