2376.0. "Restoring Application /FULL or /UPDATE" by STKAI1::AGUSTAFSSON () Mon Mar 08 1993 12:21

Hi folks,

Some questions about RA:

What is the difference between Restoring an Application /FULL or /UPDATE? 

If I have an application to restore that contains 
1) new elements
and/or
2) new versions of elements that are live on the target system 
what shall I use?

I have understood from previous notes that when using /UPDATE, I don't
have to specify live location when MLA'ing an element. This would be
very nice since there are quite a few "updated" elements. But how are 
the "new" elements treated in this case?

Regards

    Asa,          
    
    FULL - means 'first time' i.e the Application doesn't exist on this
    system
    
    UPDATE - means 'subsequent time' i.e the Application already exists
    and you are updating some of the elements OR adding new elements to
    teh application.

2376.2New elements need Live locationUTES09::EIJSSimon Eijs @Utrecht; 838-2558Mon Mar 22 1993 07:5924
Hi �sa, 

And...

> But how are the "new" elements treated in this case?

New elements will get a copy of the CM$SITELOG record which came from the
originating system. However, you'll notice that if these elements had a Live
location already, the Live location has been blanked after the elements have
been restored. This is a known problem in CM_RESTORE_FULL_ELEMENTS.SCP. This 
means that an MLA would ask you again for the live location.

The problem can be worked around by changing:

 LIVE_DISK_LOCATION = CM$STORE$SITELOG.LIVE_DISK_LOCATION,-

to:

 LIVE_DISK_LOCATION = CM$STORE$SITELOG.LIVE_DISK_LOCATION[#CM_RESTORE_ELE_KEY],-

Ciao,
