5.2.7 Restoring the data that was backed up (reconfiguring on the same machine when User Plugins are used)

To restore on the same machine the data that was backed up in an environment in which User Plugins were used:

1. Copy the data that was backed up by the npdatabackup command (back up the environment) to any location on the local disk with the attributes maintained.

2. Execute the npstop command (stop) or stop the Navigation Platform Start Service to stop the system.

3. If backups of the operation log and audit log have been acquired, place the acquired files in the appropriate log storage folders.

4. If a backup of the dashboard server's memory settings has been acquired, restore the dashboard server's memory settings based on the contents of the acquired file.

   For details about how to change the dashboard server's memory settings, see 5.4.4(7) Changing the memory capacity required for the storage service of the dashboard server.

   Tip

   For details about the values specified for the commands, check the jvm.options.npsettings.txt file in the following folder obtained during backup processing.

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\PP\OpenSearch\opensearch\config

5. If a backup of tasks that execute commands provided by Navigation Platform has been acquired, restore the task settings based on the acquired backup.

6. Use the npdatarestore command (restore environment) to restore the data for Navigation Platform.

   Command path:

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\bin\npdatarestore

7. Restore the backup User Plugins by referencing the procedure described in 6.6 Applying the files created in the development environment.

   When you reference the procedure described in 6.6 Applying the files created in the development environment, change files created in the development environment to data that was backed up. At the same time and if necessary, also restore the configuration files required by the User Plugins and the linked systems, such as databases.

   Tip

   If the User Plugins' source files are managed by a system other than Navigation Platform, copy the source files from that system.

8. If the search function is enabled, execute the npupdatesearchdata command (update search data) to apply the most recent Operational Content information to the search data.

   Command path:

   Navigation-Platform-installation-directory\bin\npupdatesearchdata
