5.1.2 Restoring collected files

To restore a file, you use the Unarchiver. The Unarchiver restores a file to its original format after it has been archived or compressed during remote collection.

You start Unarchiver by choosing the Unarchiver menu in the JP1/Software Distribution Manager or JP1/Software Distribution Client group.

When JP1/Software Distribution users are managed in linkage with JP1/Base, the Software Distribution Manager Logon dialog box opens. Enter the user name and password of a JP1 user who has permission to operate Unarchiver.

When you start Unarchiver, the Software Distribution Manager Unarchiver window (or Software Distribution SubManager Unarchiver window) appears.

In the right-hand frame of the Unarchiver window, information is sorted by directory and by file. Note that the information is not sorted if the drive uses the FAT file system.

(1) Restoring a file

Before you restore a file, you should refer to the Job Status window to determine the directory that contains the file.

The file to be restored must be stored in a directory. A file stored immediately under the drive cannot be restored.

To restore a collected file:

  1. Select the file or directory to be restored, and then choose File and Restore File (or click [Figure]).
    The Restore dialog box appears.

    Destination directory
    Specify the destination directory. The restored file is saved in the specified directory. You must specify a valid path for the destination directory.
    The following conditions must be satisfied, depending on the file system being used:
    [Figure] The directory path name does not exceed 247 characters.
    [Figure] The full path of the file to be restored does not exceed 256 characters.
    The following shows the full path format:
    source-directory + created-directory + file-or-directory-name-after-restoration
    The following shows the format of created-directory:
    archive-file-name + _ + archive-file-storage-directory
    [Figure] None of the following characters is used:
    * " : < > | ?
    To restore multiple files, see (2) File configuration at the destination below.
    Contents
    Displays the name and contents of the file to be restored.
    Archive file name
    Displays the name of the file to be restored. If you select a directory, this field displays the names of all files contained in the directory.
    List of archived files
    Displays the contents of the file that was selected in the Archive file name field.
  2. Specify the required items and choose OK.
    File restoration begins. While file restoration is underway, the Restore File dialog box is displayed.

As an alternative to the method described above, you can drag and drop a desired file from Windows Explorer to the Software Distribution Unarchiver window or the Unarchiver icon in order to restore it.

(2) File configuration at the destination

When you restore only one archive file, Unarchiver stores the restored file in the directory immediately below the Destination directory specified in the Restore dialog box. There may be more than one archive file with the same name. If you restore more than one archive file at the same time, Unarchiver creates a directory with the following name and stores the files in it:

name-of-archived-file(-without-file-extension)_name-of-higher-directory

The following shows an example of restoring multiple archive files in destination directory C:\TEMP\DATA:

Archive file name File contents
C:\user\PC0001\ED0001.dmz E10.txt, E11.txt
C:\user\PC0001\ED0002.dmz E20.dat, E21.dat
C:\user\PC0002\ED0001.dmz E10.txt, E11.txt
C:\user\PC0002\ED0002.dmz E20.dat, E21.dat
