DB supports two types of recovery:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Normal recovery, which is run when your environment is
|
||
opened upon application startup, examines only those
|
||
log records needed to bring the databases to a consistent
|
||
state since the last checkpoint. Normal recovery
|
||
starts with any logs used by any transactions active at
|
||
the time of the last checkpoint, and examines all logs
|
||
from then to the current logs.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Catastrophic recovery, which is performed in the same
|
||
way that normal recovery is except that it examines
|
||
all available log files. You use catastrophic recovery
|
||
to restore your databases from a previously created backup.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Of these two, normal recovery should be considered a routine
|
||
matter; in fact you should run normal
|
||
recovery whenever you start up your application.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Catastrophic recovery is run whenever you have lost or
|
||
corrupted your database files and you want to restore from a
|
||
backup. You also run catastrophic recovery when
|
||
you create a hot backup
|
||
(see <a class="xref" href="hotfailover.html" title="Using Hot Failovers">Using Hot Failovers</a> for more information).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
|
||
<div class="titlepage">
|
||
<div>
|
||
<div>
|
||
<h3 class="title"><a id="normalrecovery"></a>Normal Recovery</h3>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Normal recovery examines the contents of your environment's
|
||
log files, and uses this information to ensure that your
|
||
database files are consistent relative to the
|
||
information contained in the log files.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Normal recovery also recreates your environment's region files.
|
||
This has the desired effect of clearing any unreleased locks
|
||
that your application may have held at the time of an
|
||
unclean application shutdown.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Normal recovery is run only against those log files created
|
||
since the time of your last checkpoint. For this reason,
|
||
your recovery time is dependent on how much data has been
|
||
written since the last checkpoint, and therefore on how
|
||
much log file information there is to examine. If you run
|
||
checkpoints infrequently, then normal recovery can
|
||
take a relatively long time.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
|
||
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You should run normal recovery every
|
||
time you perform application startup.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To run normal recovery:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Make sure all your environment handles are closed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Normal recovery <span class="emphasis"><em>must
|
||
be</em></span> single-threaded.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Specify <code class="literal">true</code> to
|
||
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setRunRecovery()</code>
|
||
when you open your environment.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can also run recovery by pausing or shutting down your
|
||
application and using the <span class="command"><strong>db_recover</strong></span>
|
||
command line utility.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">package db.txn;
|
||
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.Environment;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.EnvironmentConfig;
|
||
|
||
import java.io.File;
|
||
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
|
||
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
|
||
Environment myEnv = null;
|
||
try {
|
||
EnvironmentConfig myEnvConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
|
||
myEnvConfig.setInitializeCache(true);
|
||
myEnvConfig.setInitializeLocking(true);
|
||
myEnvConfig.setInitializeLogging(true);
|
||
myEnvConfig.setTransactional(true);
|
||
|
||
// Run normal recovery
|
||
myEnvConfig.setRunRecovery(true);
|
||
|
||
myEnv = new Environment(new File("/my/env/home"),
|
||
myEnvConfig);
|
||
|
||
// All other operations are identical from here. Notice, however,
|
||
// that we have not created any other threads of control before
|
||
// recovery is complete. You want to run recovery for
|
||
// the first thread in your application that opens an environment,
|
||
// but not for any subsequent threads.
|
||
|
||
} catch (DatabaseException de) {
|
||
// Exception handling goes here
|
||
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
|
||
// Exception handling goes here
|
||
}</pre>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

<div class="titlepage">

<div>

<div>

</div>

</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Use catastrophic recovery when you are
|
||
recovering your databases from a previously created backup.
|
||
Note that to restore your databases from a previous backup, you
|
||
should copy the backup to a new environment directory, and
|
||
then run catastrophic recovery. Failure to do so can lead to
|
||
the internal database structures being out of sync with your log files.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Catastrophic recovery must be run single-threaded.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To run catastrophic recovery:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Shutdown all database operations.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Restore the backup to an empty directory.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Specify <code class="literal">true</code> to
|
||
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setRunRecoveryFatal()</code>
|
||
when you open your environment. This environment
|
||
open must be single-threaded.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You can also run recovery by pausing or shutting down your
|
||
application and using the <span class="command"><strong>db_recover</strong></span>
|
||
command line utility with the the <code class="literal">-c</code> option.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that catastrophic recovery examines every available
|
||
log file — not just those log files created since the
|
||
last checkpoint as is the case for normal recovery. For this reason,
|
||
catastrophic recovery is likely to take longer than does
|
||
normal recovery.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">package db.txn;
|
||
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.Environment;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.EnvironmentConfig;

myEnvConfig.setInitializeCache(true);

myEnvConfig.setInitializeLocking(true);

myEnvConfig.setInitializeLogging(true);
|
||
myEnvConfig.setTransactional(true);
|
||
|
||
// Run catastrophic recovery
|
||
<strong class="userinput"><code>myEnvConfig.setRunFatalRecovery(true);</code></strong>
|
||
|
||
myEnv = new Environment(new File("/my/env/home"),

myEnvConfig);

|

} catch (DatabaseException de) {
