Restoring (full) the WFA database using the CLI

You can do a full restore of the OnCommand Workflow Automation (WFA) database and supported configurations that you backed up previously by using the command-line interface (CLI). In a full restore, you can restore the WFA database, WFA configuration, and key.

Before you begin

You must have created a backup of the WFA database.
You must have admin or architect 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.
Restore the WFA database: wfa --restore --full --user=user_name [--password=password] [--location=path] --restart
- 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.
