Deactivating and reactivating databases
Deactivating a database
You can deactivate an active database.
When you deactivate a database, Tonic Ephemeral creates an auto snapshot of the current database.
By default, the Databases page does not include deactivated databases.
From the Databases page, to deactivate a database:
Click the options menu for the database.
In the options menu, click Deactivate.
On the confirmation panel, check Yes, I want to deactivate this database.
Click Deactivate.
On the Databases page, the database status is changed to inactive. Ephemeral creates the auto snapshot.
Reactivating an expired or deactivated database
When a database expires or is deactivated, it displays in the Databases list as an inactive database.
Ephemeral reactivates the database from the most recent snapshot that was created from the database. This might be either an auto snapshot or a user snapshot.
To reactivate a database:
If needed, update the database status filter to display deactivated databases.
Click the reactivate icon for the database.
On the confirmation panel, click Reactivate.
The database status changes to active. Ephemeral also creates an auto snapshot of the database.
