rasd_restore

(Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server only) Allows you to restore the RASD.

Note: This command is available only for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

Syntax

rasd_restore [backup_name]

Note: After executing rasd_restore, Replication Agent automatically shuts down if rasd_restore is successful.

backup_name – The name of the backup that you are restoring from. If you omit the backup name, the most recent backup is restored.

Example 1 –
```
rasd_restore
```
This command with no parameters restores the RASD from the most recent backup.
Example 2 –
```
rasd_restore 2008-07-24_15.41.10
```
This command restores the RASD from the 2008-07-24_15.41.10 backup.

When rasd_restore is invoked, it starts the restore process for the RASD.
When no parameters are used. Replication Agent looks for the most recent RASD backup in the directory identified by the rasd_backup_dir configuration parameter.
If a backup name is provided as a parameter, Replication Agent restores from the specified backup in the directory identified by the rasd_backup_dir configuration parameter.
When you create a Replication Agent instance, an RASD backup directory is automatically created as part of the instance directory structure. The default value of the rasd_backup_dir parameter points to that directory.
If you invoke rasd_restore when the Replication Agent instance is in Replicating state, it returns an error.
The rasd_restore command is valid only when the Replication Agent instance is in the Admin or Replication Down state.
