Model Backup and Restore

The Backup function copies the model to a sequential file format. The Restore function creates the model from the sequential file by using the DB2 load utility. The backup and restore functions preserve subset definitions, aggregate sets, history data, and user access data. The restore can run for a long time if you have not run the TIECLEAN utility recently. TIECLEAN is part of the restore process.

The Restore function puts the encyclopedia tables in utility status, which prevents other users from using the encyclopedia.
