Restore a CA User Activity Reporting Module Server from Backup Files

You can restore a CA User Activity Reporting Module server from backup files after you install the CA User Activity Reporting Module soft appliance on the new server.

To restore a CA User Activity Reporting Module server from backups

1. Stop the iGateway process on the new server.

   To do this, navigate to the /opt/CA/SharedComponents/iTechnology folder and execute the following command:

   ./S99igateway stop
   

2. Copy the backupData.tgz and backupCerts.tgz files to the directory, /opt/CA/LogManager on the new server.
3. Expand the contents of the backupData.tgz file with the following command:

   tar -xzvf  backupData.tgz
   

   This command overwrites the contents of the data folder with the contents of the backup file.

4. Navigate to the directory, /opt/CA/SharedComponents/iTechnology.
5. Expand the contents of the backupCerts.tgz and backupKeys.tgz files with the following command:

   tar -xzvf  backupCerts.tgz 
   

   tar -xzvf  backupKeys.tgz
   

   This command overwrites the certificate (.p12) files in the current folder with the certificate files from the backup file.

6. Start the igateway process.

   To do this, execute the following command:

   ./S99igateway start
   

7. If you configured secondary servers, perform the following steps on each secondary server:
   1. Navigate to /opt/CA/SharedComponents/iTechnology folder.
   2. Execute the following command:

      ./authtool -a "<primary_hostname>" -nologin -debug -sdkconf iTechSDK.xml
