Recovering from Database Failure

If the primary database fails, two options exist for restoring CONTROL-M/Server operation:

1) Operate CONTROL-M/Server using the mirror database instead of the primary database. The primary CONTROL-M/Server database can be rebuilt at a later stage.

This method resumes CONTROL-M/Server operation in the minimum time possible. However, mirroring cannot be reactivated until after the primary database is repaired.

2) Restore the CONTROL-M primary database from the mirror database and start CONTROL-M/Server again.

This method allows the CONTROL-M/Server database to continue to operate with mirroring. However, you will not be able to start CONTROL-M/Server until you have completed restoring the CONTROL-M/Server database - and this can result in significant downtime.
