dispatcher/server<> folders are missing under j2ee\cluster

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We had one portal system and we found the dispatcher, server0, server1 folder and the instance.properties file were missing from one of the instance server.

Another symptom was that we can not see the instance in the configtool. We did't know what happened, could be deleted by someone accidently.

We had daily backup of the disk drivers, so we could restore the whole folder. My question is, we can not even see the instance in configtool, does it mean the instance was also missing on the database? Could restore the whole cluster folder work in this case?

Thanks,

Jason

You won't see any server node in config tool if the configuration files are missing. You should be able to restore the missing folders from your last successful backup. You can check the system logs who has logged on to your system and should be able to trace the culprit.

We restore all the files from backup, and the instance is running fine.
