Recovering a partition

If you have exported a partition, and you cannot get a return file from the remote database, you can recover the original data. Recovering a partition removes the read-only locks that are associated with the partition so that users can edit the data.

About this task

If you recover a partition, edit locks are removed and synch and return files from the remote database cannot be synchronized or rejoined.

You cannot recover a partition if either the project or any of the modules in the partition are open.

Note: In the database explorer, the folder or project that is selected in the left pane is open and has an open folder icon or an open project icon . Its parent folder or project is also open, and so are all the folders and projects above it in the database tree, although they do not have open folder or open project icons.

When a module is open, all the folders and projects above it in the database tree are also open.

1. In the database explorer, select the project that contains the exported partition that you want to recover, and then click File >Properties.
   You must have modify access to the project.
2. Click the Exported Partitions tab.
3. Select the partition that you want to recover, and then click Recover.
   You must have admin and delete access to all the modules in the partition.
4. Click Confirm.
