Definition of SPMS Seed Database

An SPMS Seed Database is a template database imported from a suitable Database DMP file. As in SPMS 7.30 and prior, a new database setup has always been a process of importing from a suitable Database DMP by DBA and then the new database will undergo a purge process (FCSPMS_Clean_UP.SQL) to ensure the database is empty. Similarly, for SPMS 8.0 / 20.X and above, a new database template will follow the same process in SPMS 7.30. A suitable Database DMP will be chosen and then the data will be purged to ensure the database is empty.
