Performing a Warm Start of CWM
A warm start of CWM consists of stopping the application, then restarting it. A warm start of CWM can
aid in overcoming some database inconsistencies, and more importantly, no data is lost. When you
perform a warm start of CWM, the application continues to use data in the existing Informix
database.
To perform a warm start of CWM, complete the following steps:
Step 1 From the CWM main menu, enter 2 to select the Stop Core option, then confirm that you want to stop
core by responding y to the prompt.
It should take less than a minute for all of the processes and messages to end.
Step 2 Press Return to redisplay the CWM main menu.
Step 3 From the main menu, enter 1 to select the Start Core option.
Step 4 When the CWM main menu is displayed, enter 3 to launch the CWM Desktop.
Performing a Cold Start of CWM
You perform a cold start of CWM when you start the application with an empty database. A cold start is
typically used following a CWM upgrade or if there were too many database inconsistencies within the
network for a warm start recovery to be successful. You use the create_db command to build a new,
empty database. The command create_db destroys any existing data in the database including
statistics and object comments.
Cold start options include the following:
• coldstart -F
• coldstart
• coldstartSCM
