Database Recovery

Should a system failure cause the Workbench to crash while you are editing a database through the Isis Editor, then any modified objects will not have been saved. These edits reside within an edit database and can be recovered by performing the following steps:

1. Restart the Workbench.
2. Start the Isis Editor.
3. Select the Open Database option (under the File menu) and choose the database. A panel will then appear warning you that the database is locked from the previous session. Press the Remove Lock and Open button.
4. The database will open and a panel will appear warning of the presence of an edit database from the previous session.There are three options:
   

   Cancel
   Close the database.

   Recover
   The Isis Editor will connect to the existing edit database, restoring any changes made to objects in the previous session. These modifications are not automatically saved into the database and so you may proceed with further modifications or choose to save them.

   Discard
   The Isis Editor will create a blank edit database, discarding any unsaved modifications from the previous session.

Note:  Changes to the object that was current at the time of the crash may be lost. Deleted objects will reappear after a recovery is performed and will need to be deleted again.
