Reprocessing the database Reprocessing the database is an advanced function that is useful if a database table becomes corrupt, resulting in missing information. Even in the rare situation when information appears lost from a report, in most cases the information is preserved and can be retrieved. When the database is reprocessed, registered asset information is used to repopulate the database tables provided with the System Information Center program. This is possible because each time an asset is registered into the database, the System Information Center organizes the asset and user information and stores it in a central location. The program then separates the information into the appropriate tables. Therefore, even if the database appears to be corrupt or to contain a corrupt table, the central location where the asset information is stored is still intact. By reprocessing the database, you are taking the information that is stored in a central location, and repopulating the database tables. To reprocess the database, complete the following procedure: 1. At the Logon window, type your User ID and Password. Click Submit. The System Information Center program is displayed. 2. In the System Information Center menu bar, click Tasks. 3. Select Process XML. 4. Click Reprocess All Assets. Working with the ISIC.PROPERTIES file The ISIC.PROPERTIES file is used to determine how some of the functions within the System Information Center program are performed. These settings were established during installation of the program. You can edit this file after installation to customize the program for your enterprise environment. Editing the ISIC.PROPERTIES file The ISIC.PROPERTIES file is divided into different sections. The configuration of each section dictates the performance of a certain part of the System Information Center program. Within each section are a variety of fields, some of which have customized values. To view an example of the ISIC.PROPERTIES file, see Appendix A, "Modifying the ISIC.PROPERTIES file," on page 51. To edit the ISIC.PROPERTIES file, complete the following procedure: 1. Select the My Computer icon on your desktop. 2. Browse to C:\ISIC\WEB\WEB-INF\CLASSES\ISIC.PROPERTIES (assuming the default installation path was chosen). 3. Right-click ISIC.PROPERTIES and select Open with and then select Notepad. The ISIC.PROPERTIES file is displayed. 4.
