Use a full checkpoint to restore the entire configuration repository
back to the state it was in at the time the full checkpoint was made.
Before you begin
Privileges for managing repository checkpoints differ, depending
on the administrative role of the user. Roles include monitor, operator,
configurator, and administrator. If you are a user with either a monitor
or an operator role, you can only view the repository checkpoint information.
If you are a user with either a configurator or an administrator role, you
have all configuration privileges for repository checkpoints.
About this task
Use delta checkpoints to undo recent changes. Delta checkpoints can
only be restored in the reverse order in which they were created. Each delta
checkpoint has a sequence number. The highest sequence number represents the
most recent delta checkpoint. Therefore, delta checkpoints can be restored
in descending sequence number only. After the configuration repository is
restored from a delta checkpoint, that checkpoint is destroyed. To restore
a checkpoint, from the administrative console select
System Administration
> Extended Repository Service > Additional Properties > Repository
checkpoints When you restore a checkpoint, save conflicts will occur
if you have uncommitted changes in your workspace. The checkpoint gets restored,
but the uncommitted changes are flagged as a save conflict should you
attempt to save them. Also, if more than one user is working on configuration
changes to the repository through the administrative console or otherwise,
then other users with uncommitted changes will get save conflicts as well
if one user performs a checkpoint restoration.
Procedure
- Select a repository checkpoint.
- Click Restore. Delta checkpoints must be restored in descending
sequence number order only. Note that selecting multiple checkpoints for restoration
is not supported. Restore checkpoints one at a time. Select the latest delta
checkpoint, the one with the largest sequence number, then restore it. Do
this for each checkpoint you want to restore.
What to do next
Before you attempt to verify the success of a checkpoint restoration,
you must log out of the administrative console and log in again. This prevents
problems or abnormal behavior resulting from workspace issues.
