It is essential to implement a regular backup strategy,
and procedures to recover the CodeMatrix database should a
system failure occur. This section highlights issues to
consider when implementing a recovery strategy.Before
restoring a CodeMatrix database the server must be
stopped. See
Stopping and
starting
the server for further information.
The saved database files should be copied to the
original locations. NB the database structure uses cross
linked files, therefore a partial recovery should not be
attempted without discussing with CodeMatrix support.
Once the database is recovered the server should be
started with the following command.
<port> should be a free port number on the server
computer, but not the standard port. The server will start
up and return the database to the backed up consistent
state. Once complete it will allow a single client
connection on the specified port. This allows a client to
connect to examine the state before enabling the system.
The client used for this operation should not be an active
client with mounted workspaces. The client license
validation is disabled in this mode so the client software
may be installed on a different machine.
Once satisfied that the database recovery is successful
the server should be stopped and restarted to re-enable
the system. At this time the clients will reconnect and
resynchronise their changes automatically if necessary.
