Restore the Database Configuration Directory Files

To ensure a clean restore, remove any existing directories after first saving a copy, and then completely replace the directories.

The zip files created by the backup have the full directory paths to allow you to restore or overwrite existing files.

On the STA server, open a terminal session. Log in as the Oracle user.
Stop all STA processes:
```
$ STA stop all
```
Restart the MySQL server:
```
$ STA start mysql
```

As a safeguard, save the existing STA services and database server configuration directories to zip files. For example:

$ cd /Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/common
$ zip –vr conf.orig.zip conf

$ cd /Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/TBI/config
$ zip –vr fmwconfig.orig.zip fmwconfig

Delete the existing configuration directories.

$ rm –rf /Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/common/conf
$ rm -rf /Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/TBI/config/fmwconfig

Unzip the STA services and database server configuration directories from the backup. For example:
```
$ cd /tmp
$ unzip -X -d / 20160123_170250.conf.zip
...
$
$  unzip -X -d / 20160123_170250.fmwconfig.zip
$
```
where:
- -X indicates to restore user and group ownership.
- -d / indicates to restore the files to the root directory (/). Since the backup zip files were created using the full directory paths for each file, this restores the files to their original locations.

Verify the configuration directories have been restored. For example:

$ ls -l /Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/common
$ ls -l /Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/TBI/config
