Database Automatically or Immediately” on page 654 and “Recovering the Post Office Database
Automatically or Immediately” on page 526 .
To recover a specific database in ConsoleOne:
1 Make sure you have network access to the domain or post office directory for the database you
are recovering.
If you have administration rights in the primary domain, you can recover the primary domain
database, the post office databases in the primary domain, and any secondary domain
databases.
From a secondary domain, you can recover the secondary domain database and the post office
databases in the secondary domain.
2 Make sure you have sufficient disk space for the copy of the database that is created during
recovery.
3 In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Domain object or Post Office object where you want
to recover the database.
4 Click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > System Maintenance.
5 Click Recover Database > Run .
6 When prompted, make sure the Path to Database is correct. If an incorrect path is displayed,
browse to and select the path to the database being validated. Click OK .
If recovery is successful, the backup database is deleted, and the new domain database is renamed to
wpdomain.db
, or the new post office database is renamed to
wphost.db
.
If recovery fails for any reason, the backup database is copied back to wpdomain.db or
wphost.db
. If any data was lost, you are notified by an administrative message.
You have several options for retrieving lost data from other sources:
Š If data has been lost from the primary domain, you can synchronize it with a secondary domain
that is known to contain current information. See
Section 29.5, “Synchronizing the Primary
Domain from a Secondary Domain,” on page 398 .
Š If data has been lost from a secondary domain, you can synchronize it with the primary domain.
See
Section 29.4, “Synchronizing a Secondary Domain,” on page 397 .
