Summary This article describes how to redeploy an existing, CFR-based domain, while keeping the configuration settings from the original domain.
Article Number 28034
Environment Orbix 6.x All supported platforms
Question/Problem Description This article describes how to redeploy an existing, CFR-based domain, while keeping the configuration settings from the original domain.
Clarifying Information The Orbix CFR (Configuration Repository) stores a domain's configuration settings in a Berkeley database. 

This article described how to keep the configuration settings, if redeploying the domain.

Please note, this approach is not suitable if redeploying a domain onto an different host, or deploying a new domain alongside the original, as both scenarios would require changes to the configuration settings.
Error Message
Defect/Enhancement Number
Cause
Resolution
In short, to keep the configuration settings, while redeploying an existing Orbix Configuration Repository, the underlying database files should be copied.

The steps required to duplicate the configuration settings stored in the Orbix Configuration Repository are as follows:
 
  1. Ensure that the Orbix services are stopped. 
 
  2. Make a temporary backup the original Configuration Repository's database directory:
    ".../dbs/config_rep_<Host Name>" 

  3. Delete the new Configuration Repository's database directory:
    ".../dbs/config_rep_<Host Name>" 

 4. Replace the deleted directory in the new domain with the same directory from the original domain 

 5. Restart the services 
 
The new domain will now have the same configuration setting as the original.
