Recovery scenarios
Disaster recovery occurs at various times in a production environment.
For example, in addition to the backups that occur according to a regular schedule, you also perform disaster recovery tasks as needed. The production environment might go through various states (for example, processes might be running) while the backup is taking place.
The topics in this section describe the disaster recovery scenario for IBM BPM with IBM Business Monitor, including the installation, configuration, and underlying database. The recovery scope covers only the V7.5 production environment and no other systems and components that interact with it.
In a complete scenario, the suggestions in this section would be incorporated into the overall disaster recovery document to provide a complete solution.
The following sections describe typical scenarios for backup, restoration, and verification.
- Configuration backup and restoration
After a configuration change, such as when you create a profile, configure a deployment environment, or install an application, back up the configuration data of the primary environment. Then verify whether the configuration change can be restored successfully in the secondary environment.- Runtime backup and restoration
After you back up and restore the configuration and runtime data, verify whether the current instances, such as long-running process instances, short-running process instances, SCA invocation instances, and IBM Business Monitor monitored instances, can be restored to the secondary environment.- Verification of the backup and restoration
For production environment and application scenarios, test your backup and restoration procedure so that you can identify any problems that might exist in your procedure.
