Running the OPCCBackup command

When you use the Cognos® backup utility, you run the OPCCBackup command in a command or shell window.

Procedure

  1. From a command or shell window, navigate to the bin directory as follows:

    For Microsoft Windows: <CC_Home>\tools\bin By default, <CC_Home> is C:\OpenPages\CommandCenter

    For Linux®, type <CC_Home>/tools/bin By default, <CC_Home> is /opt/OpenPages/CommandCenter

  2. Execute the following backup command:

    Windows: OPCCBackup <path-to-backup-location>

    Linux: OPCCBackup.sh <path-to-backup-location>

    Where:

    <path-to-backup-location> is the full path of the directory where the backed up files are located on the Cognos server. The file path is optional.

    Note: If no file path is specified, the OPCCBackup command uses, by default, the backup location specified in the BACKUP_LOCATION parameter of the <CC_Home>|tools|bin|op-cc-backup-restore.env file.
