6.1.10 Running Save And Restore Requests
MDMS treats saves and restores in the same manner as other objects that it manages. You can
create new saves and restores in the same way that you create other objects, then select a start
time for them to run. Clicking Set will schedule the save or restore to run at the requested start
date and time.
From MDMSView, however, there is an additional mechanism to run a save or restore. If you
wish to run the request immediately, press the “Run” button at the bottom of the Show screen.
This initiates an immediate run of the save or restore.
Once you run a save and restore request, you can monitor its progress by pressing the “Log” tab
for the save or restore. This tab provides an up-to-date display of the request’s log file.

6.1.11 Showing Current Operations
The Request View provides a monitoring capability for all current MDMS operations. You can
display all current requests by clicking on Show Requests - this results in a table of requests
being displayed. This includes all current requests, and some recently-completed requests.
You can also expand the requests on the left side of the screen and click on a specific request for
detailed information about the request. Or you can right-click on the request number on the left
screen and select Show.
