Save and restore data

Data analytics enables you to save all content and meta data of your analysis realms in preconfigured recovery files. This recovery files allow you to restore your data.

By default, the client recovery files are stored in the directory \server\bin\work\data_ppm\recovery\<client> of the PPM installation.

The path to the recovery files is defined by the key RECOVERY_FOLDER in the client-specific file AnalysisServer_settings.properties.

Save data

Saving the Data analytics recovery files is triggered automatically after import, if this behavior was not explicitly disabled by the –recoveryfile no parameter during import.

See chapter runtableimport.bat

The process analysis recovery files are not affected by this.

With the runppmadmin program, you can create recovery files for the analysis server, regardless of the data import. Recovery files are created for all process analysis and Data analytics recovery files.

For detailed information on the runppmadmin program, please refer to the PPM Operation Guide.

Restore data

Data analytics data (together with the process data) is restored automatically whenever the analysis server is started.

To prevent data from being restored, you start the analysis server by adding the parameter -startempty.
