## Repair distributed accounts with data loss

 - [GET /force_dedistribution_from_node](https://api.docs.cpanel.net/specifications/whm.openapi/server-nodes/force_dedistribution_from_node.md): This function converts cPanel accounts that use a given
child node
to use the local server instead.

Unlike the WHM API 1  API call, this API does 
transfer users’ data from the child node as part of the conversion.
This API is useful for emergency repairs if, for example, a child
node goes permanently offline while accounts still use it.



Because this API does not transfer users’ data from the child node,
all converted users will lose data. You should  call this API
as a last resort.
