Replace an installed Content Store with a backup copy

If you can stop IXIASOFT TEXTML Server, you can replace the Content Store files with copies from your backup without needing to uninstall the existing Content Store.

Remember: TEXTML Server must be granted permissions to the high-level directory (for example, the docbases directory) and its subdirectories.

To replace the existing Content Store:

  1. Stop IXIASOFT TEXTML Server.
    Note: This step can take a few minutes for a very large Content Store.
  2. Delete all the files related to the Content Store being replaced.
    For example, if the existing Content Store was in C:\docbases\TEXTML4.4\Prod (Windows) or /docbases/TEXTML4.4/Prod (Linux), then you would delete all the files in the Prod folder.
  3. Copy all the Content Store files (data files and log facility) from the backup and paste them into the Content Store folder.
    Note: Use copy and paste instead of drag and drop to move the files to ensure data integrity.
    Important: If the backup was generated as a snapshot, ensure the files are writable.
  4. Restart IXIASOFT TEXTML Server.
  5. Open the TEXTML Administration perspective by clicking the TEXTML Administration shortcut on the tool bar. If the shortcut is not displayed, follow these steps:
    1. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
    2. Click TEXTML Administration.
    3. Click Open.
  6. In the TEXTML Administration view, double-click the server. If your server is not displayed in the view, you must add it to the view.
  7. When the Connect as dialog opens, type your username and password and click OK.
  8. Right-click the Content Store.
  9. Click Unlock all documents.
