Realm Service Database Restore

After a backup of the primary realm service is created, you can restore the realm service from the backup by using this procedure.

    Procedure
  1. Stop all the realm services that are running by stopping all TIBCO FTL servers.
  2. For the TIBCO FTL Server being restored, ensure its data directory (as defined in the YAML configuration file) is created and empty.
  3. From the backup that was previously created, find the appropriate config back-up file or files.
    The naming convention for a back-up file is <filename>_<timestamp>.<extension>.backup, where <extension> can be an appropriate extension such as 'dat' or 'persist'. Note that there may be more than one .backup file so be sure to find all such files with a matching <timestamp>.
  4. Copy the <filename>_<timestamp>.<extension>.backup files into the empty data directory to restore from the backup. Rename the files to <filename>.<extension>. As an example, config_SRV1_<timestamp>.persist.backup would be renamed to config_SRV1.persist.
  5. Restart the TIBCO FTL server, which loads the restored <filename>.<extension> file and uses the information in that file as the realm definition.
