Deleted Folder by Accident on Compute Server

titan31 — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 12:27:07 GMT

Hi,

So, made a bit of a mistake today, and accidently deleted the marts folder on our Compute server today. I'm getting it recovered through our nightly backup too (non-sas) but do you know is there any knock on effect to SAS for it to have gone missing?

There was a data library assigned and saved in that folder if that has any effect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

If you manage to recover the physical folder there should be no harm to SAS. The metadata will point to the recovered physical folder once restored.

Excellent. From what I can see, it's the tables that have been created from SCD loads that will be the fun ones. Need to recover those.

You may need to validate the content of the SCD2 data once restored. The column used as the End Date on change tracking should help.
