ABS/Kernel
Restore Procedure
Should files
become corrupted as a result of any system anomalies, an ABS/Kernel
restore procedure must be performed. Restoration can be performed
from mvBase source files located on either CD-ROM or floppy
diskette media.
CD-Based
Restore
-
Locate
the files mvserver.abs and mvserver.knl (these files are
in expanded format). These are found in the \support\server
directory on the mvBase CD-ROM.
-
Copy
these files from the CD-ROM to the installation directory
located on the mvBase server (<install directory>\server).
-
The
attribute for each file must be changed from READ-ONLY to
ARCHIVE. The attribute setting is located on each file’s
Properties dialog box. To access this dialog box, select
the file in File Manager or Windows
Explorer, right click with the mouse button, and select
Properties. The Properties dialog box can also be accessed
via the File pull-down menu.
Floppy
Diskette-Based Restore
NOTE: Floppy diskettes have insufficient space for file
expansion. Expand the files directly to the destination directory
on the mvBase server.
-
Locate
the mvserver.ab_ file in the root directory of the mvBase
diskettes. This file is not in expanded format.
-
To expand
this file, open MS-DOS or an NT command shell. The command
to expand files to the mvBase server subdirectory is:
EXPAND A:\sourcefile C:\destination
where:
| A:\
|
The
drive to the file which is to be expanded. |
| Sourcefile
|
The
path to the file which is to be expanded. |
| C:\ |
The
drive for file in its expanded format. |
| destination
|
The
path of the file in its expanded format. (<mvBase
install directory>\server). |
