NOTE:
• The backup information in the backup catalog is managed based on the use of a copy group as
a key. Depending on the backup method, you might not be able to perform restoration, even
though the backup data exists on the secondary volume. For further information, see the notes on
running Application Agent in the
HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI User Guide
.
• If ONLINE is set in CLU_MSCS_RESTORE in the Application Agent configuration definition file
(init.conf), you can perform restoration of a user database while the cluster resources are
online by specifying the -resync option. In this case, the cluster resource that manages the in-
stance to be restored cannot be taken offline. However, if the restoration target is a system database
(master, model, msdb, or distribution) or a database that contains a system database, restoration
will be performed offline.
Conditions Causing an Error
This extended command fails in the following cases:
• An invalid option is specified.
• The system cannot acquire information from the definition file linked to the operation ID.
• A specified Application Agent command option cannot be specified as an extended command
option.
• The system cannot acquire information from the backup ID file.
• A command executed inside the extended command encounters an error.
• The command fails to obtain the name of the directory where dictionary map files are stored.
Return Values
0: Normal termination
Any value other than 0: Termination with an error
Example
• In this example, the extended command is used to restore data from the secondary volume to the
primary volume by resynchronizing the volumes, based on the settings specified in the operation
definition file operation01:
EX_DRM_SQL_RESTORE operation01 -resync
EX_DRM_SQL_TLOG_BACKUP (Backs up the transaction log of the SQL Server)
Format
EX_DRM_SQL_TLOG_BACKUP operation-ID
[ -no_cat ]
[ -no_truncate ]
[ -target database-name | -f list-file-name ]
