NDB Types

The RAMDB (Automation Database File) and RSDB (Network Model File) are stable NDBs that rarely require attention; however, they should be backed up periodically to secure changes. For example, changes to resource definitions and Automation Services processes are stored in the RAMDB.

The Alert History File ($ALERTH), File Transfer Event Database (EVNTDB), and IPLOG Event History File (IPLOG) are used to store data cumulatively for searching, which is why they have user-defined parameters such as the number of days to keep data.
