Enabling Resource Registry for disaster recovery

If you use persistent volumes, then the resource registry can be backed up automatically to prevent the loss of your data if a disaster does occur. When enabled, the back up can take an hour to recover data from the resource registry.

About this task

If you did not do so already, you can enable the automatic back up for the resource registry in the custom resource of your Cloud Pak for Business Automation deployment.

Procedure

  1. Open the Cloud Pak for Business Automation custom resource for your CP4BA deployment in the OpenShift® Container Platform console or offline.
  2. Set the custom resource parameter resource_registry_configuration.auto_backup.enable to true.
    The function backs up data according to the time interval set by the auto_backup.minimal_time_interval parameter.
  3. If you have stable persistent volume storage, set the auto_backup.minimal_time_interval interval to 60 seconds. The default is 300 seconds. The highest interval that you can set is 3599 seconds, which is just under an hour.
