Strategic Finance

  To enable Strategic Finance recovery from a failure:

  • Back up related components as described in Common Backup Tasks.

  • Record the optional RDBMS connection information.

  • Back up the application data folder (EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/hsf/hsfdata by default).

  • Copy customization files such as .coa files, currdata.dat, consdata.dat, and convert.idx to another location or to a storage device.

  • If you use custom templates, back up the contents of the server program directory, including .coa, .idx, .dat, .txt ,.xml, .drs, .alt , and .alc files.

  • Back up Windows registry settings on the Strategic Finance server. See Backing Up Windows Registry Settings.

Note:

Use of the “back up open files” option of standard backup products is recommended, in case Strategic Finance is holding files open when the backup goes through the application data folder. If the open files are not backed up, the backup image may not be fully consistent.

  To recover Strategic Finance from a failure:

  1. Reinstall Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance Server.

  2. Copy the backed-up files to the new installation directory.

  3. Restore any other components that you backed up.

  4. Reestablish the connection for data export from Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance, to the RDBMS.

  5. Restart Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance Server.
