Restoring a backup of the Workbench configuration files

You can restore your Workbench configuration directory, %ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF%\conf, by merging in changes from your backup files into the new installation.

The steps below assume the Tools Service (on Windows) or the workbench service (on UNIX) is configured and running.

After updating to Tools and Frameworks 11.3.2, you can restore your Workbench configuration from backups. This includes Workbench extensions, menu configuration, and authentication settings.

Note

User profiles must be re-created manually.

To restore a backup of the Workbench configuration files:

  1. Stop the Tools Service.

  2. Open your configuration backup files.

    These are the files created from Backing up the Workbench configuration files.

  3. Manually merge any configuration changes into the files located at %ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF%\conf (on Windows) or $ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF/conf (on UNIX).

  4. In ws-mainMenu.xml located in %ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF%\conf (on Windows) or $ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF/conf (on UNIX), replace <menuitem id="casconsole"/> with <menuitem id="cas-console"/>

  5. Save and close the files.

  6. Start the Tools Service.
