Backup and Recovery Recommendations for Oracle WebLogic Server

Introducing Backup and Recovery 16-15 Database Repository Dependencies OIM, MDS, and Oracle SOA Suite schemas and, optionally, the OID schema Backup Recommendations Back up the domain, the Oracle home, and the database containing the schemas. Recovery Recommendations Recover the domain or Oracle home depending on the extent of the failure. Recover the database to the most recent point in time, if needed. For the steps to recover Oracle Identity Manager, see Section 18.2.7.3 . For the steps specific to recovering from loss of host, see Section 18.3.4.5.5 .

16.5.2.9 Backup and Recovery Recommendations for Oracle Identity Navigator

This section describes the Oracle Identity Navigator data that must be backed up and restored. Configuration Files Configuration files are stored in a file-based MDS repository. Database Repository Dependencies MDS schema Backup Recommendations Back up the domain and the Oracle home. Back up the file-based MDS repository using the WLST exportMetadata command. For example: exportMetadataapplication=oinav,server=server_name,toLocation=export_ directory Recovery Recommendations Recover the domain, the Oracle home, and the file-based MDS repository. For the steps to recover Oracle Identity Navigator, see Section 18.2.7.4 . For the steps specific to recovering from loss of host, see Section 18.3.4.5.6 .

16.5.3.1 Backup and Recovery Recommendations for Oracle BPEL Process Manager

This section describes the Oracle BPEL Process Manager data that must be backed up and restored. Configuration Files Configuration files are stored in the database. Database Repository Dependencies Process definition and configuration files are stored in the MDS schema. The dehydration store is stored in the BPEL schema. Backup Recommendations Back up the Administration Server domain directories. Back up the database after any configuration changes, including changes to global fault policies, callback classes for workflows and resource bundles that can potentially be outside the suitcase. Also back up the database after deploying a new composite or redeploying a composite. Recovery Recommendations Recover the database to the most recent point in time, if needed. Point-in-time recovery ensures that the latest process definitions and in-flight instances are restored. However, this may result in reexecution of the process steps. Oracle recommends that you strive for idempotent Oracle BPEL Process Manager processes. If the system contains processes that are not idempotent, you must clean them up from the dehydration store before starting Oracle Fusion Middleware. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management Suite for more information. Because instances obtain the process definition and artifacts entirely from the database, there is no configuration recovery needed after the database is recovered to the most current state; instances should continue to function correctly. For redeployed composites, a database recovery ensures consistency between the dehydrated in-flight processes and their corresponding definition since the process definition is stored in database repository where dehydrated instances are also stored. For the steps to recover components, see Section 18.2.7 . For the steps specific to recovering from loss of host, see Section 18.3.4.6 .
