Restoring the Oracle Reporting Database
IMPORTANT: Before you try to restore the Reporting Database, contact the Global Support Center. HDS prefers to walk you through this process step-by-step. The following steps provide guidance for restoring your database; however, once again, depending on your circumstances, all of these steps may not be relevant.
1. Import the most recent version of the database that you exported. See Importing the Oracle Database.
2. If the import of the database fails in Step 1, it is likely that there are issues with your Oracle environment that are preventing Oracle from starting. In this case you will need to restore the database files from your Cold Backup.
a. Using the backup software that you used to Perform a Cold Backup of the Database, restore the database with the most recent successful Cold Backup. If you do not have a successful Cold Backup of the Oracle database, see Restoring When a Cold Backup is NOT Available.
b. Import the most recent version of the database that you exported. See Importing the Oracle Database.
