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.

Prerequisites

  • 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.
