Restoring the AB Suite Solutions

You can restore an AB Suite backup (.bck) file or a .model file into a new System Modeler solution and get the solution structure based on the projects that was exported previously.

To restore the AB Suite solution, perform the following:

  1. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.

    The New Project dialog box appears.

  2. In the Project Types pane, expand Agile Business Suite, and then click Applications.

  3. In the Templates pane, select New Application From A File.

  4. In the Name box, enter the project name.

  5. In the Location box, enter the path or browse to the location where you want to store the new project.

  6. Click OK.

    The New Application From A File wizard appears.

  7. Browse to and select the file you want to restore, by clicking  located next to the Please select file to restore box. You can select a .model file or a .bck file.

    Note: If you select a .bck file, the restored projects appear in the Application from Export or Backup File Wizard.

  8. Click Next.

  9. From the Server Name list, select the SQL server.

  10. From the Database Name list, select the database name. By default, this field displays the model name.

  11. In the Model Name box, enter the model name. By default, this field displays the model name.

    Note: If there is more than one AB Suite model while restoring, you must enter the Server Name, Database Name, and Model Name for each model.

  12. Click Next.

    The project creation confirmation message appears in the wizard.

  13. Click Finish.

  14. Click Close.

On completion, the restored solution appears in the current window.
