DetailsAboutRate It

Problem

The Deployment Backup and Recovery Tool might report a failure when you are performing a recovery using batch commands sas-recover or sas-recover-offline and you are restoring a backup that has previously been recovered from an earlier time in environments that do not have a central vault configured:

id:     2014-05-30T03_16_11
                type:   recovery
                status: failed
                scheduled:      false
                runBy:  sasadm
                startTimeStamp: 2014-05-30T07:16:24.798Z
                endTimeStamp:   2014-05-30T07:17:07.973Z
                backupId:       2014-05-30T02_59_28

                        errorEntries
                                statusCode:     323
                                name:   COMMAND_ARCV_CHECKSUM_VALIDATION_ERROR
                                impact: The recovery operation will not proceed further.
                                category:       GENERAL
                                classification: ERROR

If you see the error message in an environment that does not have a central vault configured and the backup being used for the recovery operation has already been used for a recovery operation in the past, use the workaround below to enable the recovery operation to proceed.

Workaround

To recover a backup that has previously been restored in an environment without a central vault configured: Create a JSON file with the FORCED option set to TRUE and then execute the sas-recover-offline or sas-recover batch command again using the JSON file as an input data file. Here is an example of the contents of the JSON file:

{ "name": "My Backup", "comment": "Restore", "forced": "true" }

Note: If the error message is encountered in an environment that does have a central vault configured or if the backup being used for the recovery operation has not been used for a recovery operation in the past, contact SAS Technical Support for assistance with this error.

For more details about how to use the -inputdata option with the sas-recover or sas-recover-offline batch commands, see the Performing a Recovery Using the Deployment Backup and Recovery Tool section of the SAS® 9.4 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide, Fourth Edition.
