3.7.2 Recovering definition information

To recover saved definition information, you can use the Saving and Recovering Settings dialog box or you can execute a command.

You must select one of the following formats for recovering definition information:

Do not delete settings at destination

This format recovers the definition file without deleting the existing settings at the destination.
Delete settings at destination

This format deletes the existing settings at the destination and then recovers the definition file.

In the event of a failure during recovery processing: If a failure occurs during recovery processing, the definition information is not recovered. We recommend that you always save the existing settings before you perform recovery with Delete settings at destination specified.
About the log information directory during recovery of an environment definition: The log information directory specified in the environment definition is not created automatically. If you are using a non-default log information directory, use the Environment Definition utility to update the environment definition. Without this directory, you will not be able to start various JP1/FTP services.
