Restoring the File System of a BWAgent

Restoring a BWAgent restores the file system of the BWAgent to the state of the datastore.

The file system for runtime entities in a BWAgent can be restored locally or across a network, if the BWAgent is part of an agent network.
Before you begin
  • The name of the BWAgent must be known in order to restore.
  • The BWAgent must be running.
    Procedure
  1. To restore the file system for runtime entities in a BWAgent, open a terminal and navigate to BW_HOME\bin.
  2. Enter the restore command at the command line, using the agent argument with the name of the BWAgent to restore. The BWAgent can be either the local BWAgent or a BWAgent in the agent network. The following example restores the BWAgent named Machine1. 
    BW_HOME\bin>bwadmin restore agent Machine1
  3. To verify the restore, check the file system. Open the BW_HOME\domains folder. Look for named domain folders to verify if domains for the BWAgent have been restored.
