Hi gurus,
I have to backup a hyperion planning application which has two databases in Essbase. I need to back the application everyday just to make sure if anything goes wrong we can have the data.
What is the process that you recommend.
One thing I can do is go to the application folder in Essbase (for example c:\hyperion....\essbaseserver\..app ) and then copy the whole folder to a backup folder, but my question is if i copy the application folder in this way, is the planning application that i have created in workspace backed up as well. so do i need to do something else in order to back up the planning applicaiton.
other thing i can do is use the "database export" option in essbase but in this process also, while the essbase dataase is backed up, the planning application may not be, so
can someone suggest me the right way of back up so that the planning applicaiton is backed up and the essbase database cube as well..
thanks
