Recovering from a Failed Development Server

This topic describes how to recover from a failed development server or failed repository when you cannot access a backup copy of this server or repository. It requires that a recent image of the repository exist on the computer that a remote user uses, and that this user performed a full Get to create this repository. For more information, see Getting All Projects from the Server Repository.

To recover from a failed development server

1. Log in to Siebel Tools on the remote computer that includes the intact repository.
2. Archive the projects that this repository contains.

   For more information, see Exporting Objects to an Archive.

3. Create a new repository:
   • To create a repository record, you can add a new repository object in Siebel Tools.
   • To create the schema in the database for the repository, you can run imprep.ksh for Linux or UNIX.

     For more information, see Exporting and Importing Repositories.

4. Import the archive you created in Step 2 into the repository you created in Step 3.

   For more information, see Importing Objects from an Archive.

5. Test the repository you created in Step 3 and make sure it includes the expected functionality.
6. Check projects into the Siebel Server.

   For more information about projects, see Checking Out and Checking In Projects and Objects.
