Today I restarted mysqoop server and now all my jobs and links seems to have gone away. Sqoop is working with a derby database :
org.apache.sqoop.repository.jdbc.url=jdbc:derby:@BASEDIR@/repository/db;create=true
Do you have any clue on how i can put them back?
Perhaps the setting of BASEDIR has changed, and your old database was in a different database, while your new database is in the new location of BASEDIR.
Have you tried searching your hard disk?
Note that since 'create=true' was specified, Derby would have quietly created a new empty db in the new location.
