Initialization

When you use cminst to install the Change Manager software, you are asked whether the Change Manager data is to be configured. If setup is requested, the metadata table files, file repository structure, and required Change Manager configuration files are all created. If you elect not to configure the Change Manager data during installation, the cmsetup script must be run before Change Manager functionality is available.

Once the Change Manager data elements have been configured, you can run cmsetup at any time to reinitialize or remove Change Manager data. Reinitializing resets the metadata tables to factory settings and optionally removes Change Manager data. Reinitializing without removing data leaves the repository data files in place, but clears all Change Manager metadata. In either case, Change Manager remains functional and is still available after the operation is completed.
