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.

Note: Before defrosting, the cold db files must be copied to the archive directory iTechnology\calm_archive.

To restore and defrost cold db files

1. Copy the backed up calm_archive folder to the current calm_archive folder.
2. Run the sem utility from the command line to retrieve a list of all cold db files.

   sem -h <hostname> -u <username> -p <password> -listcolddb
