Common Operations
How do I copy a repository from one environment to another?
Standard procedure: make a logical backup of the repository, then carry out a logical restore of the backup in an empty repository of the target environment.
For GBMS environments you can copy repository files (EMA, EMB, EMS, EMV) in a folder carrying the repository name, then create a reference for the repository in the second environment, but only if the metamodel is exactly the same in both environments.
Can I create a reference for an environment in another site?
No, the functional rule is that a reference for a HOPEX environment should only be referenced in an installation (site).
Can I delete a user?
Yes, you can delete a user: see Deleting a User.
When you delete a user from the repository, all actions linked with this user are lost. To delete a user but retain its actions, modify user repository access mode to Inactive user (see Preventing User Connection). The user no longer appears in the connection dialog box, but its actions are kept.
You cannot delete the "Administrator" user.Can I delete a writing access area?
Yes, you can delete a writing access area.
You cannot delete the "Administrator" writing access area.When you delete a writing access area, the objects that were attached to it pass implicitly to "Administrator" writing access level.MEGA recommends that before deletion, you modify the writing access of objects attached to the writing access area.
