Performing an emergency save and restoration
When changes are made to Configurator data and the connection is lost, follow these steps for an emergency save and restore:
- When a host server connection is lost, the Server Connection Lost dialog box opens.
-
Click Emergency
Save.
Check boxes are shown only for those configurations that were not saved when the host server connection was lost. If all configurations were saved when the host server connection was lost, then Emergency Save is unavailable.
- Select the files for emergency save.
- Click OK. The selected files are now temporarily cached on the client side.
- The Emergency Save dialog box closes and the Server Connection Lost dialog box remains open until Reconnect is clicked and the connection is restored.
- After the connection is restored, the Emergency Restore Wizard opens. This lists the files that have been previously stored to the client cache through an emergency save.
- Click Next. The previously cached files are shown. Select the files to restore.
- Click Next. The Wizard shows the successfully restored files.
- Click Next. Any remaining files that have not been restored are listed with the option to remove them from the client cache. If all files are restored, then the next wizard step is skipped and the Finished dialog box opens. If no selections are made, then a prompt is given the next time you connect to the server.
- Click Next. The Wizard shows the number of files restored or removed.
- Click Done.
