      - Creating a user database
        When you create a user database using the Designer, you apply a schema version to the user database. The copy of the applied schema version resides in the user database. The schema version defines the process model and forms for the defect and change tracking system.

Restoring a deleted user database

When you restore a deleted user database, you restore the link between the user database and the schema repository.

Before you begin

The user database can be restored by re-creating the link between it and the schema repository provided all of the following conditions are true:

The user database has not been physically deleted.
The schema version associated with the database has not been deleted.
You have not upgraded to a newer version of Rational® ClearQuest®.

Procedure

Start the Designer.
In the Rational® ClearQuest® Schema Repository Explorer view, click on the schema repository where you want to restore the user database.
Click View > Rational® ClearQuest® Database Admin. The Rational® ClearQuest® Database Admin view opens.
In the Rational® ClearQuest® Database Admin view, click the Show deleted databases button.
User databases that you have deleted now appear in the Rational® ClearQuest® Database Admin view, marked by a red icon.
Right-click the database that you want to restore and click Undelete.
If the restore operation is successful, the database now appears in the Rational® ClearQuest® Database Admin View without the red icon.
