Running additional scripts

When you install the 6.0 Manager, if there are 1 million or more, alerts or host events, in your current
Manager setup, you will be prompted to run two SQL scripts as described below.
Run alertproc_offline_1.sql and alertproc_offline_2.sql only if prompted to do so. The system prompts
you only when there are 1 million or more, alerts or host events, in the Manager database. If you run
these scripts when not prompted, you will receive SQL errors. In this case, contact McAfee Technical
Support with the details of the message.
Ensure that you run the sql scripts soon after the Manager upgrade is complete. McAfee recommends
that you select a relatively idle time to run the scripts to minimize the impact on performance.
