Database changes directly to HP SIM SQL Database

[jptr]

Hi,

I am newbie to HP SIM. I was curious whether this can be done.

I saw the various tables in HP SIM's SQL database. Can I make changes directly to the tables? If so, what post-process should I do to make the changes visible?

Just FYI: I made some changes and the changes were not visible. Actually the application did not allow me to relogin. I have to reboot the box.

A relational database splits information into tables as a way of normalizing the data for efficiency. An update can affect multiple different tables. Messing with data in a table could put it out of sync with other data in other tables and render it unusable. Direct updates to the HP SIM database is therefore HIGHLY discouraged and unsupported.
