Warning --
Users that are not proficient navigating in Windows and My Computer/Windows Explorer should NOT attempt to do this.
If you are unsure of any of these directions, please call AGRIS Support instead of going through this process.  This will be a permanent deletion of your data files and it can be very costly to try and restore the files.  

Warning --
These directions are for customers running on Actian Zen or PSQL only, not MS-SQL. Do not attempt this dataset restoration method on AGRIS if you are running on MS-SQL.

Note --
If you use Agsync with AGRIS, please complete the steps from What to check when AIS is not communicating with Agris (red light on AIS side) after completing the steps below in order to restore communication between Agsync and AGRIS.

  • Go into AGRIS main menu, choose File

  • Click on "Select Dataset"

  • Verify the numbers to the left of your Live dataset and your Copied dataset (For example, live = 001 and Copied = 003.  Write these down.)

  • Go to Utilities > Login Inquiry and make sure users are still out of Agris., then close Agris.

  • Double-click "My Computer" on your desktop

  • Browse into your network drive, opening up Agris\Datasets

  • Double-click the folder containing your LIVE dataset

  • Touch CTRL A at the same time to select All Files

  • Touch Delete.  ** This is permanent!!  Do not do this unless you are sure you are deleting the badly purged dataset!! ** Click Yes.

  • When the delete has finished, click on Back then double-click the number corresponding to your copied dataset

  • Once again touch CTRL A to select All Files

  • Click Edit at the top of the screen, then COPY, then click Back

  • Double-click your LIVE dataset folder

  • Click Edit at the top of the screen, then paste

  • Once the files have finished copying, close the My Computer window and log into Agris

  • Select your live dataset

  • At the AGRIS Main menu, go to Maintenance - Dataset Maintenance

  • Select your Live dataset

  • Change the dataset name to what it was before the copy and also click Reassign Unique ID (You will need to contact support to obtain an Access Code)

  • At this point your users can log back in to Agris
