Hi Pradeep,

If you are taking back-up of repositories regularly, you can unarchive the .a2a file with the same repository name which got deleted by you accidently. It will contain all the information. So please check the repsotory archive file .a2a file with the basis team, you should unarchive it with the same name which would act as back up of your deleted repository.

Note: Upto date archive would be better as older the archive .a2a file, it may miss some records.

Hi Pradeep,

Unfortunately, you don't have any other option. Please take the latest Archive .a2a file whatever is available at your end. It may or may not miss records depending upon how frequently records get created into MDM and what is the upto-date(latest) archive file you have. So whatever lateest archive .a2a file is available with you, just Unarchive that repository with same name as of deleted repository.

Hi,

If you donot have repository backup then check with your DBA team for the database backup.

In case you have database backup then restore it and try to connect to the repository.

Hi,

So , Is it confirm that even if the repository got deleted from Console level it may exist in Database level to reterive it back?

Database are mostly backed up regularly. Thats why check with your Dba team.

Once delete repository command is executed its gone from all places.
