How to do selective restores? (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

I took an appback and restored it to a local version of IO.
I then created a upgrade/update deployement of the one form I wanted to restore.
In the live version of OI I did the RUN RDKINSTALL "path", which said one item processed.
When checking the form it had not been replaced. I tried deleting the form entity and repeating the install but then it was gone completely even after the "install".
What am I missing?

Could the form entity you installed have gone somewhere else, and missed its target?

Warren,
With RDK installs you need to make sure that:
1. Only one person is logged into OI at a time.
2. The RDK extracted files actually have something in them.
It isn't always obvious if the RDK extraction actually worked. Sometimes a component that has an evaluate flag set won't extract…but it won't warn you either. Therefore I would double-check by attaching the extraction table, SYSUPGRADE, and seeing what records were actually put into it.

Warren,
Before you do any RDK extracts you want to be sure that the repository structure is good. Any corruption can result in a partial extract.
Use the form executable SCAN_REP to winkle out problems, then rebuild the repository index.
Final check is, after creating RDK extract, attatch that volume (location of extract) and examine the SYSUPGRADE table. If you are deploying a form you will see the form, the associated repository components including events associated with form.
As Oystein mentions, have a look at the RDKExtract_Module SSP which (and the RDK_Extract equates) which will give you an idea of what is happening.
If RDK extract fails, there is usually an obvious reason.

Warren,
RDKINSTALL ugrades have worked every time for me. So I have no experience that's relevant for you.
Hmm. You have the RDKINSTALL source. Perhaps you can put in a debug statement and step until you see what goes wrong.
Hopefully somebody else will chip in with a likely explanation.
