Return an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Instance to Service After Restoration from a Backup
After restoring an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance from a backup, you must perform additional steps to return the service instance to service. You may also need to modify the service instance to return it to the state you require.
If a service instance has been scaled since a backup was created, the topology of the service instance and the topology of the backup no longer match. If you restore the service instance's configuration files from the backup, Oracle SOA Cloud Service handles such topology mismatches as follows:
-
If the service instance contains any managed server hosts that are not in the backup, Oracle SOA Cloud Service warns you that it cannot restore the managed server hosts that are not part of the backup.
Before trying to restore again, you can scale in the service instance to delete the nodes that correspond to these managed server hosts.
If you choose to continue without scaling in the service instance, Oracle SOA Cloud Service asks you to confirm that you understand that the service instance will be scaled in automatically.
-
If the backup contains any hosts that are not in the service instance, Oracle SOA Cloud Service does not attempt to remove the managed servers on these hosts from the administration server configuration. You must use Oracle WebLogic Server to remove the managed servers on these hosts from the administration server configuration.
You must also remove a restored service instance's transaction logs and enable the load balancer for the service instance to resume the handling of incoming requests.
