Backing up ELMOperation instance by using Red Hat OpenShift CLI

The ELMOperation instance supports the backup of Engineering Lifecycle Management applications by using the CLI method.

1. Log in to the Red Hat® OpenShift and connect to your project
2. Prepare the ELMOperation source manifest. Now, from the local computer create a YAML file called backup_elm_instance.yaml by using the following command.

   apiVersion: elm.ibm.com/v1
   kind: ELMOperation
   metadata:
     name: elmoperation-sample
     namespace: <namespace_name>
   spec:
     operationType: backupELMInstance
     allApplications: true
     backupLabel: latest
     selectedApplications:
       jas: false
       jts: false
       qm: false  
       dcc: false
       rm: false
       gc: false
       ccm: false
       eni: false
       ldx: false
       lqe: false
       rb: false

3. Run the following command:

   oc create -f backup_elm_instance.yaml -n <namespace_name>

   Replace the placeholders: For <namespace_name>, input the name of the project, where Engineering Lifecycle Management instance is created.

4. Verify the installation by using following command:

   oc get elmoperations elmoperation-sample -n <namespace_name>

   You can see the following output, when the ELMOperation is created successfully

   NAME                  AGE
   elmoperation-sample   2m27s

   The output provides information about ELMOperation resources and status.

   Note: The exact path of the backup can be viewed from the logs section of the backup pod created.
