Restore the Data Watcher MongoDB - NEW! 🚀

To restore the Data Watcher database follow these steps:

  1. On each node where Data Watcher is installed, stop Data Watcher (dataone.sh stop DW).
  2. On each node where Data Watcher is installed, start MongoDB (bin/mongodb start).
  3. On just one node of your choice among the ones where Data Watcher is installed, launch the dwrestore.sh script.
  4. On each node where Data Watcher is installed, start Data Watcher (dataone.sh start DW).

Need details about start and stop commands? Have a look at the dataone.sh reference page.

The script to restore the Data Watcher database is stored at this path:
$DATAWATCHER_HOME/mongodb/backup

The dwrestore.sh script restores info into $MONGODB_LOG_DIR/dw-restore.log

You will be asked to confirm the restore operation.

Usage:
./dwrestore.sh source-path
where source-path is the folder containing MongoDB backup files (collectionname.bson files).

Example:
./dwrestore.shdestination-path/dw-<datetime>/dw
