Restoring (regular) WFA database using the CLI

You can do regular restore of the OnCommand Workflow Automation (WFA) database by using the REST APIs. In a regular restore, you can only backup the WFA database.

Before you begin

You must have created a backup of the WFA database.
You must have admin credentials, architect credentials, or backup user credentials.

Steps

At the shell prompt, navigate to the following directory on the WFA server: WFA_install_location\WFA\bin
wfa_install_location is the WFA installation directory.
Perform the restore operation: wfa.cmd --restore --user=user_name [--password=password] [--location=path]
- user_name is the user name of the admin or architect user.
- password is the password of the user.
  If you have not provided the password, you must enter the password when prompted.
- path is the complete directory path to the restore file.
Verify that the restore operation is successful and WFA is accessible.
