Disaster Recovery

There are two approaches you can use if you want to provide a Disaster Recovery (DR) capability for an ActiveMatrix BPM system.

These are:

• Data-level replication. This approach:
  • requires only file-based and database-based replication software.
  • ensures that data on the DR site will be in a consistent state across the various TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM datastores and will therefore start-up when required.
  Warning: If the primary site fails, there may be some data loss or lost state changes within executing business processes. The extent of this loss is determined by the latency of the replication of changes on the primary site to the DR site.

  See Disaster Recovery Using Data-Level Replication for more information.

• Device-level replication. This approach:
  • requires dedicated device-level replication hardware and software (with commensurate higher costs).
  • ensures that state information held in the file system or database remains synchronized after replication to the DR site.
