Recovering the Search Database

The Search database maintains recoverable transaction logs. Thus, under normal
circumstances, you do not have to do anything to recover the database. Recovery
from errors and transient conditions such as a full disk are straight forward. If
desired, maintain Search database archives and restore from an archive in case you
lost the entire database. In this scenario, you would copy the archive to the original
database to recover it.

To Recover the Database

1.

Stop all processes accessing the database, including the Portal Server instance.

2.

Use the

rdmgr

-R

command to recover.

Working with the Display Profile

If you need to troubleshoot the XML contents of your portal’s display profile,
extract the contents to a file for examination. At some point in the troubleshooting
process, it might be useful to reload the display profile.
