15.4.3 Recovering the client directory

If a problem occurs on a disk that makes it necessary to recover the client directory, reinstall the HADB client by overwriting the existing client, and then recover the client directory.

Note that the client directory can be restored to the status it was in before the problem occurred only if the following conditions are satisfied:

• The definition files stored under the client directory (%ADBCLTDIR%\conf in Windows or $ADBCLTDIR/conf in Linux) have been backed up.

• If users have created files under the client directory (%ADBCLTDIR% in Windows or $ADBCLTDIR in Linux), those files have been backed up.

To recover the client directory:

1. Recover the HADB client.

   Reinstall the HADB client by overwriting the existing client, and then recover the client directory. For details, see Installing and uninstalling an HADB client in the HADB Application Development Guide.

2. Recover the definition files from the backup.

   From the backup, restore the definition files stored in the client directory (%ADBCLTDIR%\conf in Windows or $ADBCLTDIR/conf in Linux).

3. Recover the files that were created by the user from the backup.

   If users have created files in the client directory (%ADBCLTDIR% in Windows or $ADBCLTDIR in Linux), restore those files from the backup.
