The ccmsrv archive and ccmsrv
restore commands are presented together to give a clear understanding
of how you can create and restore archives for a database server.
This high-speed backup command is an alternate database backup strategy
to the ccmdb backup command.
Ensure that you understand the following requirements before using
the commands.
- Perform the database server archive or restore procedures at the
online server level, not at the individual database level. There is
no way to restore a specific database. You can only restore the entire
online server. As a side effect, all other databases in the same database
server revert to the latest archive after the restore.
- Carefully read the following information, and then devise an archiving
plan for your environment. Test your plan to ensure that it does not
affect your current production environment and that the archive works.
- Coordinate any archive or restore procedures with the local system
administrator. Verify that the file system part of the Rational® Synergy database is backed up properly
and in sync with the database server archive. When the archive is
in progress, users can edit in the file system while the database
activities are frozen, which can cause data inconsistencies.
You
must restore from both database server and file system archives during
a restore procedure. If they are not in sync with each other, you
might end up with data inconsistencies.
