How to use recovery procedures

When using recovery procedures in this chapter, always write down or check off recovery steps as you perform them. Such information can help Sybase Technical Support determine where you are in the recovery procedure, if necessary.

Table 7-1 lists failure conditions described in this chapter, and indicates where to find information on corresponding failure symptoms and recovery procedures.

**Table 7-1: Overview of available recovery procedures**
Failure condition	For symptoms and recovery procedures
Replication Server partition loss or failure	“Recovering from partition loss or failure”
Truncated primary database logs	“Recovering from truncated primary database logs”
Primary database failure	“Recovering from primary database failures”
RSSD failure	“Recovering from RSSD failure”
Unsynchronized databases	“Resynchronizing replicate databases”

Recovery procedures are only intended for the specific situations noted in this chapter. Do not use recovery procedures for replication system problems such as failure to replicate data.

WARNING! Use recovery procedures in this chapter only for the failure condition specific to the procedure. Attempting to use recovery procedures on conditions other than those specified can complicate your problem and require more drastic recovery actions.

Refer to the Replication Server Troubleshooting Guide for help in diagnosing and correcting problems.
