10.2. Oracle Service Registry Backup Recommendations

This section describes application server-specific backup considerations.

10.2.1. Oracle Service Registry Backup and Oracle WebLogic Server

Ideally, the following static and runtime artifacts within the Oracle WebLogic Server directory structure should be backed up on a periodic basis. Static artifacts include: • BEA_HOME directories excluding USER_PROJECTS directories in the Admin Server and all the Managed Servers. • WLS product home by default, it resides in BEA_HOME but it can be configured by the user to point to a different location in Admin Server and all the Managed Servers. Runtime artifacts include: • USER_PROJECTS directory in all the servers by default, it resides in BEA_HOME, but it can be configured by the user to point to a different location. • Application artifacts EAR and WAR files which reside outside of the domain directory on each of the servers in case of nostage or external_stage application staging modes. • Persistent Stores by default, it resides in USER_PROJECTS, but it can be configured by the user to point to a different location.
