You should back up the Performance Management Architect database regularly. See Database Backup Types.
If you change the configuration settings, also back up the file system. See File System Backup.
To enable recovery from a failure:
Back up the Performance Management Architect database and, if necessary, the Performance Management Architect file system as described in Common Backup Tasks.
Periodically back up EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Foundation/BPMA/AppServer/DimensionServer/ServerEngine/bin/bpma_server_config.xml.
Restore the Oracle Hyperion EPM Architect database that you backed up.
To recover configuration settings, restore the file system that you backed up.
Install Dimension Services Server by running EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Foundation/BPMA/AppServer/DimensionServer/ServerEngine/bin/services_build_helper.exe INSTALL PROD.
Create a virtual directory for hyperion-bpma-server in Internet Information Services (IIS) that references this folder:
EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Foundation/BPMA/AppServer/DimensionServer/WebServices
Ensure that the Microsoft .NET Framework version of the Web application is 2.0, and enable ASP.NET 2.0 Extension.
Ensure that write access for C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data is enabled for NETWORK SERVICE user.
Run these scripts in EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/deploymentScripts/installServiceScripts to install the J2EE Web tier services:
