9.2.13 Backing up and restoring a process monitoring definition template
This subsection describes how to separately back up and restore definition information for process monitoring definition templates.
- Note:
-
You can back up and restore process monitoring definition templates by manually copying the directory to another location. The PFM - Web Console service must be stopped when you restore the information. Because the definition information for process monitoring definition templates is stored in a directory structure that includes subdirectories, you must back up and restore the directory structure as a whole.
By default, the definition information for process monitoring definition templates is stored in the following location on the PFM - Web Console host:
-
In Windows:
installation-folder\processMonitoringTemplates\
-
In UNIX:
/opt/jp1pcwebcon/processMonitoringTemplates/
- Note:
-
If you have changed the location of definition information for process monitoring definition templates from the default, the data you need to back up and restore will be located in the directory specified in the processMonitoringTemplatesRepository parameter of the initialization file (config.xml).
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Backing up definition information for process monitoring definition templates
