Backing up the Maintenance Snapshot

Automating the Download of the Maintenance Snapshot

To automate the downloading of the snapshot, you create a script file containing the required EPM Automate commands, and schedule it (for example, using Windows Scheduler or Linux cron job) to run after the daily maintenance of the environment is complete.

For a sample Windows script that you can repurpose to download the artifact snapshot, see "Scenario 8: Backing up Application Snapshot to a Computer" in Working with EPM Automate.

Copying a Snapshot to Oracle Object Storage

You can use the copyToObjectStorage EPM Automate command to copy a snapshot from an Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management environment to an Oracle Object Storage Cloud bucket.

Refer to the following topics in Working with EPM Automate:

• copyToObjectStorage
• copyFromObjectStorage
• Copying a Snapshot to or from Oracle Object Storage

For REST API equivalents, see Copy to and from the Object Store.
