Device Database - Default Search Paths

The default Search Paths (defined in the Device Database Manager dialog) are as follows:

Refreshing The Device Database

When you "Refresh" the device database, VA re-scans the current search paths (indicated in the Search
Paths window in the Device Database dialog) looking for changes in the files, including added (new)
files, removed files and changed files. To refresh the device database:
1. Select Managers > Device Database Manager to access the Device Database Manager dialog.
2. Click on the Refresh button.
3. The progress bar indicates the status of the refresh operation. When the operation is complete, the
status bar closes.

Rebuilding The Device Database

When you "Rebuild" the device database, VA clears the current device database, and re-populates from
the search paths indicated in the Search Paths window.
A database rebuild is required when VA is installed, to specify the directory or directories to search for
module files. Beyond this initial build, you should only have to use the Rebuild option if you are
experiencing problems with devices in VA.
To rebuild the device database:
1. Select Managers > Device Database Manager to access the Device Database Manager dialog.
2. In the Search Paths field, click the New (Insert) button. This adds a new, empty search path.
a. Click the browse (...) button to open the Browse For Folder dialog.
b. Select a directory to search for module (*.JAR) files and click OK to return to the Device
Database Manager dialog.
c. The new directory now appears in the Search Paths list.
3. Click on the Rebuild button.
4. The progress bar indicates the status of the rebuild operation. When the operation is complete, the
status bar closes.
