This topic describes how to back up your data and configuration files for IBM® Planning
Analytics Local.
About this task
Each Planning Analytics component has its own set of
related data and configuration files. Review and follow the these steps to backup the data and
configuration information for the components you are using.
For example:
- For each IBM
TM1® Server you are
running, backup your TM1 data directory and configuration
files.
- If you are using Cognos®
TM1 Web, you should back up the related data and configuration
files for that component.
- If you are using Cognos
TM1 Applications, you should export your applications and
backup any other related files.
Procedure
- Export configuration settings from IBM
Cognos Configuration:
If you used the Cognos Configuration utility to run and
manage your TM1 components, such as the TM1 Admin Server, TM1 servers, or the TM1 Application Server, you can save an XML file of your
configuration information.
- Open Cognos Configuration.
- Click File > Export As.
- Select a location and enter a file name for the XML file.
- Click Save.
- Back up TM1 Server databases:
Save a copy of the contents of your IBM
TM1 database data directories and subdirectories to a secure
location. These directories contain both data and configuration files. For example, the TM1 sample database directories and subdirectories are located
here:
<TM1_Install>\samples\tm1
- Back up additional TM1 configuration
files:
Save a copy of any TM1 configuration files you may want to
retain, such as the TM1 Admin Server logging properties file,
tm1admsrv-log.properties, located in the
<TM1_Install>\bin\directory.
- Back up TM1 Web:
If you use Cognos
TM1 Web, backup the tm1web_config.xml
file and any custom Cognos
TM1 Web server pages to a secure location. The default
location for these files is:
<TM1_Install>\webapps\tm1web\
<TM1_Install>\webapps\tm1web\web-inf\configuration\
- Back up Cognos
TM1 Architect and Cognos
TM1 Perspectives:
If you are using Cognos
TM1 Architect or Cognos
TM1 Perspectives, save the Tm1p.ini
client configuration file from:
- %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Applix\TM1\
- %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Applix\TM1\
In most cases, the full paths to these files are:
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Applix\TM1\Tm1p.ini
- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Applix\TM1\Tm1p.ini
