Managing the TADDM servers

Before you configure TADDM for discovery, you must understand how to manage the TADDM servers, which includes many tasks.

Checking TADDM server status
You can use the Administrator Console or the control command to check the status of the TADDM server.
Starting the TADDM server
If you chose the Start at Boot option at installation, the TADDM server automatically starts during every system boot.
Stopping the TADDM server
You can manually stop the TADDM server and related discovery processes.
Backing up data
Back up your data on a regular basis so you can recover from a system failure.
Restoring data
After a system failure, you can restore the configuration, data, and database files. As a result, you can resume operation from the point of the last backup prior to the failure.
Copying discovery scopes, profiles, and custom server templates between TADDM servers
You can use the datamover.sh|bat command to copy discovery scopes, discovery profiles, and custom server templates between TADDM servers.
Deploying the Discovery Management Console
After you confirm that the TADDM server is available, you can deploy the Discovery Management Console.
Configuring TADDM communication
To establish TADDM communication, you must configure all necessary services, connections, and firewalls.
TADDM server properties reference
The collation.properties file contains properties for the TADDM server. You can edit some of these properties.
Verifying data integrity
You can run the verify-data command to verify the data integrity of configuration items in the TADDM database. You can verify relationships, inheritance mapping, duplicates, and over merges.
Managing credential cache - cachemgr utility
You can use the cachemgr.sh or cachemgr.bat command to list and delete the content of credentials cache.
