GOAL:
How to restore a multi-volume database from cpio backup
GOAL:
How to get an OS copy of a multi-volume database working after it is copied off tape
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
OpenEdge Category: Database
FIX:
Once the multi-volume database has restored from -cpio backup, there may be inconsistencies in the filepath of the .d extents.
To correct this, three steps are needed in using prostrct repair:
1) A structure file (dbname.st) is created from the structure extent (.db). This command needs to read the structure extent only, so other extents are not needed for this step.
prostrct list <dbname>
2) Edit the structure file (.st) created and correct any path name inconsistencies. Do not change anything but the path names or else the next step will fail.
Edit the resulting <dbname>.st
3) Use prostrct repair to take the new structure file (.st) and put it into the structure extent (.db):
prostrct repair <dbname> <dbname.st>
