Disabling the Local Jive System Database

Many deployments will not wish to use the locally managed platform database instead, choosing to use an RDBMS that is controlled by an internal corporate IT group. In this case, the Jive SBS local database should be disabled. To disable the database, as the root user, execute the following script:

The following terminal output demonstrates deactivation and of the Jive database service:

[root@biodome ~]# /etc/init.d/jive-database deactivate
Jive Database deactivated.
[root@biodome ~]# /etc/init.d/jive-database activate
Jive Database activated. The database will start automatically on the next system restart.
Note: Disabling the database does not stop the service if it is running. Likewise, re-enabling the database does not start the database service. Also, disabling the local system database will unscheduled all standard local system database maintenance tasks.
