Restore Journal Files

Restore Journal Files

After a system crash or disk hardware failure, recreate your database by restoring your backup copies. If you have been journaling and your journal file is still accessible, you can further restore your databases by applying changes since the last backup recorded in the journal files to the databases.

To restore the journal files:

  1. First confirm that all users exit InterSystems IRIS.

  2. If journaling is enabled for the instance, stop journaling using ^JRNSTOP (see Stop Journaling Using ^JRNSTOP).

  3. Restore the latest backup of your database.

  4. Run the journal restore utility. See Restore Globals From Journal Files Using ^JRNRESTO for details.

  5. Restart journaling if it is disabled.

Note:

You cannot run the journal restore process from the Management Portal.
