5.3.5 Restoring JP1/Software Distribution Manager

This subsection describes how to restore the backup data for JP1/Software Distribution Manager (central manager or relay manager).

Because various data and files contain defined relationships, restore the backed up data and files at the same time.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Registry (installation and setup information)
(2) JP1/Software Distribution Manager database
(3) Asset Information Manager Subset
(4) Various files
(5) Environment variables (during linkage with JP1/Base to manage JP1/Software Distribution users)

(1) Registry (installation and setup information)

Use Registry Editor to import the exported registry file.

However, if you are migrating to a different environment, for example after a PC has been replaced, do not import the registry file because the registry contains machine-specific information.

(2) JP1/Software Distribution Manager database

Using Embedded RDB
Use Database Manager's Restore Database dialog box to restore the backup files that were acquired using Database Manager or the netmdb_backup.bat command. For details, see 7.4.5 Recovering the database from a backup in the manual Setup Guide.
To restore the backup files that were acquired using the netmdb_unload.bat command, use the netmdb_reload.bat command. For details, see 5.3.9(3) netmdb_reload.bat command.

Using Microsoft SQL Server
Use Management Studio to restore the backup files.

Using Oracle
Restore from backup files acquired by offline backup. The target files to restore include control files, data files, Redo log files, and all database files in parameter files.

(3) Asset Information Manager Subset

If you have acquired CSV files as backup files, restore the backup files using Database Manager's Restore the database from CSV files in Asset Information Manager Subset. For details, see 10.3.4 Restoring the CSV database files in the manual Setup Guide.

If you are using Embedded RDB and you acquired the backup from Back up Embedded RDB, see 10.3.6 Restoring the database in an Embedded RDB environment in the manual Setup Guide.

(4) Various files

This subsection describes various JP1/Software Distribution files that need to be restored.

(a) Package files and operation history files
(b) Operation history files (operation history backup directory)

Store the operation history backup files in the operation history backup directory that was specified on the Operation Monitoring page in the Server Setup dialog box.

(c) Audit log files

Store the audit log backup files in the audit log output destination directory that was specified on the Audit Log page in the Server Setup dialog box.

(d) Files obtained by remote collection (applicable to relay manager only)

Store the backed up files obtained by remote collection under the work directory for remote file collection, which was specified in the Specify Work Directories dialog box during installation. The value specified for the work directory for remote file collection is set in the following registry:

(e) Various management files (applicable to relay manager only)

Store the backup of the management files in the following directories:

(f) Host ID management file (applicable to relay manager only)

Store the backup of the netmdmp.hid file under the Windows installation directory.
