Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

> ## Recovering from a lost or damaged control area

> Use the PROSTRCT BUILDDB utility to recover when an existing database control area (DB) is lost or damaged. The utility re-creates a control area from the structure description (`.st`) file of an existing database. For example:

>     prostrct builddb db-name structure-description-file

> PROSTRCT BUILDDB uses the following parameters:

> ``db-name``

> Specifies the database you are using.

> ``structure-description-file``

> Specifies the existing structure description file. If a structure description file is not specified, PROSTRCT BUILDDB assumes the name is `db-name`.`st`.

> PROSTRCT BUILDDB does only minimal validation of the resulting control area.
