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.

To recover from a failed development server

1. Log in to Web 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 File.

3. Create a new repository:

   • To create a repository record, add a new repository object.

   • To create the schema in the database for the repository, 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 File.

5. Test the repository you created in Step 3 and make sure it includes the expected functionality.

6. Check projects into the Siebel Server.
