Back up these databases:

• Databases that store Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System application data

• The Oracle Hyperion Shared Services repository

  The Shared Services repository contains the Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Registry, which stores most product configuration settings. It also contains Native Directory, provisioning information, and Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace preferences. Oracle recommends a physical full backup immediately after installation and configuration.

For instructions on backing up an individual EPM System component, see the section of this guide that is specific to the component. See EPM Workspace and Shared Services for instructions on backing up Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services.

Also back up any database, using the vendor documentation, that you use to store or extract data for use in product applications. Regular backups of database content are recommended for these EPM System components:

• Foundation Services

• Oracle Hyperion Calculation Manager

• Oracle Data Relationship Management

• Oracle Hyperion Financial Management

• Oracle Hyperion Financial Close Management

• Oracle Hyperion Planning

• Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management

• Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition

These products do not use repository databases:
