Restore a DH

Restore a DH to copy data from the DMS backup files into the DH_Reader directory using the dmsmgr utility.You do not need to restore a DH Writer because it has a transient database. Check that the DH Writer is present in the existing DH file structure before you restore a DH.

Note: If the DH Writer is not present in the existing DH file structure, or you want to set up a new DH, use the dmsmgr -create function to create a new DH before you restore a DH.

Note: You must have full administrative access to the operating system to use the dmsmgr utility.

To restore a DH, run the following command on the DH host:

dmsmgr -restore -dh name -source path -parent name\
[-admin user[,user...]] [-xadmin user[,user...]] [-desktop host[, host...]]
-admin user[,user...]

(UNIX) Defines internal users as administrators of the restored DMS or DH.

-desktop host[, host...]

(Optional) Defines a list of computers that have TERMINAL access rights to the computer with the restored DH.

Note: Whether specified or not, the terminal running the utility is always granted administration rights for the restored DH.

-dh name

Defines the name of the DH that is restored on the local host.

-parent name

Defines the name of the parent DMS the restored DH will subscribe to. Specify the parent DMS in the following format: DMS_name@hostname.

-source path

Defines the directory that contains the backup files to restore.

-xadmin user[,user...]

(UNIX) Defines enterprise users as administrators of the restored DMS or DH.

The DH is restored and the DH is subscribed to the DMS.
