The information that configures and maintains satellites is stored in relational tables in the satellite control database, SATCTLDB. Because these tables are in an ordinary DB2 database, this information is accessible to authorized users, and can be maintained (for example, backed up and restored) using standard DB2 utilities. For information about these utilities (and other administrative issues), refer to the Administration Guide.
This book does not describe the tables in the satellite control database in detail. For information about these tables, refer to the following Web site:
www.software.ibm.com/data/db2/library/satellite
Although the tables in the satellite control database contain the information about satellites and the satellite environment, you should not attempt to maintain the environment by updating the tables directly. Instead, maintain the satellite environment by using the Satellite Administration Center, which is available from the Control Center.
