Restore the Object Repository Backup
When restoring the object repository from a backup file:
The complete object repository will be restored.
The administrator user created in the object repository will be overwritten.
The password will revert to the password for the administrator user in the original/current version object repository.
You can change the administrator password after the restore process is complete.
If you perform multiple iterations of backing up your old/current database and restoring it to your new database:
The repository being restored will be appended to the open repository.
Any new reports, users, RIO items, etc., that are not currently there will be added.
If the same report (or user, RIO item, etc.) already exists in the repository and is in the restore, the restore will overwrite the existing object.
If an object, such as a report, is currently in the repository and the backup does not include it, the report will remain.
If a profile (or connection) was renamed, a restore will bring it in again with the original name.
If it was not renamed, Hubble will overwrite the profile (or connection) if it has the same name.
Restore Process
-
In your new Administrator, go to the Main tab, select the Object Repository, right-click, and choose Restore.
The Open Repository Data File dialog will appear. Navigate to the object repository backup file from your current version.
Select the file and click Open to start the restore process.
If you want to reset the administrator password, do it now and update your password management systems.
Note: If you have Budgeting and/or Planning, ensure to restore the budget database as the final step. This is crucial because the new budget connection must be created first, and the budgeting information needs to be updated in the associated profile.
