OLAP Setup and User's Guide

Restoring Data

To restore your applications you need the files containing your backed up data, plus any files that were used to modify the application since the data was backed up. If you added new data and ran calculations since the last back up, then you must add the new data and run the calculations again after you restore the application. If you made several incremental updates to the application, you need to run all the updates again to ensure that changes to the data are accurate. For example, if you made three incremental updates, and a member name was changed during the second update, you must run the second update again to ensure the third incremental update can find the member with the new name, and load data into it.

Follow these steps to restore your data:

  1. Find the previous backup copy that you want to use.
  2. Stop all DB2 OLAP Server applications.
  3. Stop the server component of DB2 OLAP Server.
  4. Restore the entire DB2 OLAP Server APP directory.
  5. Restore the essbase.sec, essbase.cfg, rsm.cfg, and license.id files in the BIN directory.
  6. Restore each database that contains cubes.
  7. Restart the server.
