To restore a UDDI Services database

Important

• Before restoring any data, it is highly recommended that you stop all UDDI Services Web servers that are connected to the database server to which you are restoring data. For more information, see Start or Stop a Web Server.
• To perform this procedure, you must have administrative credentials.
• When you restore a UDDI Services database, all existing data is destroyed.
• If any of the paths referenced in the UDDI.Database.bak file do not exist on the local computer, the restore operation will fail with a device activation error.

1. From the computer hosting the UDDI Services database you want to restore, open Command Prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type:

   CD UDDI_Services_Installation_Directory\Data

   The default UDDI Services installation directory is:

   systemroot\Inetpub\UDDI\

3. If you have not already done so, copy the database backup file (UDDI.Database.bak) that you want to restore into this directory.
4. Type:

   UDDI.database.restore.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 restore to a database instance named UDDI, type:

   uddi.database.restore.cmd UDDI

Note

• You can only restore data from backups made from the same installation of UDDI Services. You cannot use this tool to migrate data from one 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.
