Point-in-Time Recovery 

The content server database supports point-in-time recovery. The time up to which log entries are to be processed is already determined in the Database Manager at the start of the Recovery. When setting up a point-in-time recovery for the database instance and the content server database, you should choose a point in time for the content server that is shortly after the point in time for the database.

After the recovery, there may be some documents in the content server that cannot be accessed from the SAP system, if documents were deleted after the point in time selected for the recovery. However, all documents known to the SAP system are available in the content server database. Therefore, the content server is consistent from the point of view of the SAP system.

Consistency Check

The content server database has a function for checking the consistency of the data. Check the consistency of the data before backup generations are overwritten. We recommend that you do this every four weeks.

Prerequisites

The database instance has the Operating Status ONLINE or ADMIN.

Procedure in the Database Manager

1. Database Manager GUI: Checking Database Structures
   Database Manager CLI: Use command:
   dbmcli -u <dbm_user>,<password> -d <database_name> -uUTL <dbm_user>,<password> util_execute verify
2. The information returned by the database kernel is written to the file Database Errors. Check the database files, for example, whether they can be read in the database manager GUI Reading Database Files.
