Content Type Import Restore

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

We did an import of content type that we got from the client.
We already had an old version of the content type. Once we did the import of the newer version of content type, the import failed.
But now the original content type appears to be corrupted as well. What is the best way to restore the original content type?

thanks

Manvinder,

How was the type imported and what were the errors you received when the import failed?

Content Type definitions are stored in the ObjectStore directory.

Shared Field definitions are stored in the rxconfig\Server\ContentEditors\shared directory.

The backing tables for Content Types and Shared Fields are obviously in the database but they are in separate tables. The first thing you want to look at are the backing tables for the Content Type and Shared Fields to see if the new version’s columns were applied at the database level. Based on that and the errors that you are getting when the content type is started, you can make the decision as to the best way to proceed.
