When a container goes offline, this will be shown in the Pilot's
Container mode and in the Containers View
and Tool:
Here are some possible reasons:
- (Temporary) network problems.
- The Location is no longer valid because the name of the computer or the share changed. For example the disk was filling up and you decided to move the data to another computer with another name and then remove the old share.
- The disk that hosts this container crashed. When you have a backup of that disk, you can put that data back on another disk or computer.
For whatever reason you need to move data to another network place, you can use the Relocate feature to inform Automation Engine that the container data is now on another Location.
Attention: Relocating
does not move any data. It only adapts the Automation Engine database by informing it on the
new location.
Follow these steps to relocate a container:- Select the offline container and right-click or go to .
- Enter the name of the computer that you want to relocate your container on, or browse to it.
- In the Select the share dialog, select the share you want to relocate your container on. Click OK. Your container is now relocated on the share you selected (and has the name of the share).
