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 utility.
