Restore bots from Git repository

If your database is deleted or corrupted, you can restore all your bots and the associated dependent files from the Git repository to your new database. This restore option is available only for On-Premises deployments and not supported on Cloud deployments.

1. Log in to the Control Room as an admin user.
2. On the left pane, click Automation.
   A list of available bots and forms is displayed.
3. Click the Restore from Git option in the Public workspace.
   The Restore from Git dialog box appears, displaying a warning that all the public repository operations will be disabled during the Git restore process.
4. If you have duplicate files in the Git repository, select to either Overwrite existing files or Skip existing files in the Git repository.
5. Based on whether the repository is empty or non-empty, choose one of the following options:
   • To restore files to a repository that is not fully empty, enter your Git credentials for the associated repository.
     Note: You cannot use the existing Git configuration for a partially filled repository.
   • To restore files to a fully empty repository, you can choose the Git repository from which you want to restore your files.

   Option	Action
   Use existing git configuration settings	Select this option to restore your data from the Git repository configured with the Control Room. Note: Ensure you connect your Control Room to the remote Git repository from Administration > Settings > Remote Git repository integration.
   Use manual settings	Select this option to restore data from any other repository. Enter the HTTPS repository path including the username in the following format: https://<username>@bitbucket.org/companyname/product.git Enter the branch name. Enter your Git repository password or a generated Git token. Re-enter the password or Git token to confirm. Note: If you are using the same settings as the existing Git configuration, you will encounter an error. To use the same configuration, first remove the remote Git repository integration setting in Administration > Settings > Remote Git repository integration before providing the same in this manual settings option.

6. Optional: Select the Connect to Git via proxy check box.
   1. Enter the proxy host name or IP address.
   2. Enter the port number.
   3. Optional: Select the authentication check box and enter the user name and password.
7. Click Continue to proceed with the restore process.
   The system starts restoring the bots and the dependent files from Git. This process takes some time.
   After the restore process is completed successfully, you are automatically returned to the Automation page. The bots and the dependent files are restored in your new database, maintaining the original structure of the dependent files.
