Add Restored Databases to the Catalog

If you copy the restored database directly into the archive directory on a different server than the one where it was generated, rebuild the archive catalog to add the restored database.

Do not use recatalog in either of the following cases:

• If you use the restore-ca-elm.sh script to restore an archived database. The restore shell script does the recataloging for you.
• If you copy the restored database directly into the archive directory on the same server where it was generated and then notify CA User Activity Reporting Module that the database is restored with the LMArchive -notify rest option.

The recatalog process sets the restored database to a "warm" state, not a "defrosted" state as with the LMArchive -notify rest option. Therefore, it follows normal archiving rules, rather than the Export Policy set in the event log store configuration.

To rebuild the archive catalog to add the restored database

1. Click the Administration tab, and then the Archival Management subtab.

   The Archival Management folder list appears.

2. Click the Archival Query and Recatalog folder.

   Three buttons, including Recatalog, appear above tabs for Quick Filters and Advanced Filters.

3. Click Recatalog.

   A success confirmation message appears. The restored database is added to the catalog in a warm state.
