Note
- Files marked as “synchronized” in the rightmost column are synchronized among all DMAs in the cluster every day at midnight (00:00). Therefore, it is of great importance that the time settings of all DMAs in the cluster are synchronized as well. For more information, see How do I synchronize time settings within a DMS?.
- From DataMiner 9.5.9 onwards, DBMaintenance.xml and DBMaintenanceDMS.xml have been moved to the Database subfolder, along with a number of other database-related files.
