Backing up the event runtime database

To ensure data integrity is maintained, you must back up the event runtime database regularly.

About this task

It is very important that the relational database containing the event runtime is backed up regularly. The event runtime contains the definitions that describe:
  • How events pass into the event runtime.
  • The business logic that evaluates events.
  • The actions that are fired as a result of an evaluation of true.
The database also contains several tables that are critical to processing time-delayed rules, such as recording history and keeping track of context steps for complex events.

Performing a regular backup, by using the standard backup utility of your database manager, ensures that data integrity is maintained.
