Restore module states

Question

How can I force reinstallation of all bundles ?

Answer

• Stop Jahia
• Remove the bundles-deployed folder content
• In the digital-factory-data folder, create a marker file named [persisted-bundles].dorestore ([persisted-bundles] is not a placeholder, it is the actual name to use for the marker file)
• Restart Jahia

What it does ?

• It deploys the modules and restore their state as they have saved in the JCR

When to use it ?

• When there's an inconsistency in modules, or unexpected error that could be solved by redploying all modules.

What is the difference with a simple flush of bundles-deployed ?

• Compared to a simple flush of bundles-deployed, it will restore the modules in the state they were before server restart. Without the marker file, all modules will be started.
