Backing up resources
Back up your integration node components, and the working files associated with integration nodes and the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, so that you can restore these resources if required.
About this task
Back up your integration node components regularly to ensure that you can return to a known operational state if necessary. In addition to configuration and operation state, the integration node maintains additional resources in its work path, and you can request that these resources are also backed up.
Back up the workspaces you have created in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit; these resources contain your application development resources; for example message flows and message model schema files. If you use a development repository to store application resources, such as Rational® ClearCase®, see the documentation associated with that repository to check how you can back up this data.
On distributed systems, you can use the backed up components to restore the integration node only on an identical operating environment. The operating system must be at the same level, and the integration node and queue manager names must be identical.
