Restoring the Domain Configuration

Restoring the Domain Configuration

You can restore domain configuration from a backup file. You may need to restore the domain configuration if the domain configuration in the database becomes inconsistent or if you want to migrate the domain configuration to another database.
Informatica restores the domain configuration from the current version. If you have a backup file from an earlier product version, you must use the earlier version to restore the domain configuration.
You can restore the domain configuration to the same or a different database user account. If you restore the domain configuration to a database user account with existing domain configuration, you must configure the command to overwrite the existing domain configuration. If you do not configure the command to overwrite the existing domain configuration, the command fails.
Each node in a domain has a host name and port number. When you restore the domain configuration, you can disassociate the host names and port numbers for all nodes in the domain. You might do this if you want to run the nodes on different machines. After you restore the domain configuration, you can assign new host names and port numbers to the nodes. Run the
infasetup
DefineGatewayNode or DefineWorkerNode command to assign a new host name and port number to a node.
If you restore the domain configuration to another database, you must reset the database connections for all gateway nodes.
You lose all data in the summary tables when you restore the domain configuration.
Complete the following tasks to restore the domain:
  1. Disable the application services. Disable the application services in complete mode to ensure that you do not abort any running service process. You must disable the application services to ensure that no service process is running when you shut down the domain.
  2. Shut down the domain. You must shut down the domain to ensure that no change to the domain occurs while you are restoring the domain.
  3. Run the
    infasetup
    RestoreDomain command to restore the domain configuration to a database. The RestoreDomain command restores the domain configuration in the backup file to the specified database user account.
  4. Assign new host names and port numbers to the nodes in the domain if you disassociated the previous host names and port numbers when you restored the domain configuration. Run the
    infasetup
    DefineGatewayNode or DefineWorkerNode command to assign a new host name and port number to a node.
  5. Reset the database connections for all gateway nodes if you restored the domain configuration to another database. All gateway nodes must have a valid connection to the domain configuration database.
