Rescanning the instance

You can rescan database instances to make sure system information is up-to-date.

When a new database or tablespace is created or when existing tablespaces are deleted, the changes can be updated by selecting the option to rescan the database instance.

By selecting the option to rescan the individual database instances, you can update the system with current information more quickly than by resynchronizing the entire repository.

    See Accessing system maintenance tasks in the Web GUI.

  2. Select the rescan option.

  3. In the confirmation dialog, click OK to continue.
