Back up a UDDI Services database

To back up a UDDI Services database

Important

Before proceeding to back up any data, it is highly recommended that you stop all UDDI Services Web servers that are connected to the database instance of which you are creating a backup. For more information, see Start or Stop a Web Server.
This tool must be run by a user with Administrative credentials.

From the computer hosting the UDDI Services database you want to back up, open Command Prompt.
At the command prompt, type:
CD UDDI_Services_Installation_Directory\Data
The default UDDI Services installation directory is:
systemroot\Inetpub\UDDI\

Type:

uddi.database.backup.cmd [Database_Instance_Name]

Value	Description
Database_Instance_Name	The name of the local MSDE2000 or SQL Server database instance where the UDDI Services database component is installed. If none is specified, the default database instance is used.

For example, to back up a UDDI Services database hosted in a database instance named UDDI, type:

uddi.database.backup.cmd UDDI

A backup of your data is placed in UDDI_Services_Installation_Directory\Data\UDDI.Database.Bak. Copy this file to another location or back it up for safekeeping.

Note

Backups created using this tool contain physical paths and file names for UDDI data files that are specific to the current installation. For this reason, you cannot use this tool to migrate data from one UDDI Services installation to another.
Use the runas command to perform administrative tasks with Administrative credentials as necessary. You can use this command by typing runas at the command prompt.
