Backing Up OS Settings

Windows registry settings and specific system variables in Windows and Linux environments should be backed up.

Backing Up Windows Registry Settings

Backing up the Windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and its subkeys) enables system recovery if Windows is reinstalled.

Note:

For some Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System components, you need only back up specific subkeys, as described in the procedures for backing up those components.

You can use the Windows regedit command to create registry files to back up system and product components. If a failure occurs, you can run the registry files to restore the components.

Note:

The following procedure does not apply to Oracle Smart View for Office, or Oracle Hyperion Provider Services.

To back up a component with regedit:

  1. Select Start and then Run.
  2. Enter regedit, and click OK.
  3. Right-click the subkey for the component in the left panel, and select Export.
  4. Select a location for saving the registry file, enter a file name with the .reg extension, and click Save.

Example 2-1 System Variable Backup

Oracle recommends backing up the HYPERION_HOME and EPM_ORACLE_HOME system variables.t

Note:

This recommendation does not apply to Smart View.
