ACE20 Context - how to reset context configuration?

[imanassypov]

Hi,

is there a way to reset/clear a particular context's configuration?

I see there is a 'wri erase' within a context, but no reload/reset - neither from the context itself nor from the Admin... puzzling...

I dont want to reload an entire blade just to clear one of the context's configs...

Thanks!

Try , deleting the context and readding it again from the Admin Context. This should work.

After that you can create a clean ckeckpoint, so you always can go back to that point.

Abijith,

you recommendation is not best for cases when you have a series of checkpoints / files on the disk within the context. If you were to nuke the context and recreate it from the admin context all your data will go with it.

Marko, thanks for the nice trick. It is very neat way of achieving the reset, but I have a bit of an issue - I have a long-time running context with many checkpoints, and none of them are blank...

Is there a way to inject blank checkpoint to disk?

what about the copy tftp: checkpoint: command?
