Restoring a backup of a site to the Endeca Configuration Repository

You can restore a backup of your application configuration to an instance of the Endeca Configuration Repository using the import_site script provided with the Deployment Template.

The script takes a file created by a previous export and imports its content to the Endeca Configuration Repository. The script connects to the Endeca Configuration Repository instance for the current application based on the configuration in AppConfig.xml.

Restoring backups of the ECR is supported only between instances of the same release version.

To restore a backup of your application configuration in the Endeca Configuration Repository:

  1. Navigate to the control directory of your deployed application, for example, C:\Endeca\apps\discover\control.

  2. Run the import_site script, passing in the file name of the backup, as in the following examples:

    On Windows: 

    import_site.bat discover-21-12-2012.xml

    On UNIX: 

    ./import_site.sh discover-21-12-2012.xml

  3. Run the load_baseline_test_data script.

  4. Run the baseline_update script to publish updated information to the MDEX Engine.

  5. Run the set_templates script to push updated templates to the repository.

  6. Run the promote_content script.
