IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1            

FileNet P8 components that can be included in an online backup

You can implement an online backup solution only for specific FileNet® P8 components.

The following FileNet P8 components can be included in an online backup solution:
  • Content Platform Engine
    Important:
    • If a fixed content device is used for Content Platform Engine storage, the device must be included in the consistency group that is used for the online backup. Consult your storage vendor to confirm that your fixed content device supports inclusion in a consistency group.
    • Federated repositories that are associated with an object store cannot be included in an online backup:
      • IBM® FileNet Content Federation Services for Content Integrator
      • Content Federation Services for Image Services
      • Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand
  • IBM Content Search Services
  • IBM Content Navigator
  • IBM FileNet Workplace XT and Workplace
    Important: Ensure that the object store that contains your IBM FileNet Workplace XT and Workplace data is included in the online backup snapshot.
The following FileNet P8 components do not support online backups. The data associated with these components can optionally be included in your online backup snapshot by stopping the component services before performing the snapshot and restarting after the snapshot is completed.
  • IBM FileNet Rendition Engine
  • Case Analyzer
Other components cannot be included in an online backup solution.
