Altering Backup Parameters

You can alter backup behavior for TIBCO Object Service Broker data associated with a change request by disabling the automatic backup for TDS tables. Altering the backup parameters of a change request does not change its status.

Guidelines

If the change request contains a rule to execute, complete a system backup of all components that are affected. If there is any doubt over what is affected, back up the entire MetaStor.

Without a backup, you cannot back out table data changes resulting from a promotion.

Auxiliary Backup Parameters

To alter the backup parameters, type K (backup) in the Managing Accepted Requests screen and press Enter at the command line.

This action displays a screen similar to the following illustration. This screen lists table instances in a change request whose pre-promotion data should be backed up before the change request is applied.

Procedure

Values in the Source Backup and Target Backup fields determine the backup action of the Promotion system when it applies the change request. Set the value according to the following:

Value	Backup Action
Y	The table instance is copied to backup files before the requested data deletion or modification is done at promotion time.
N	No backup is taken.

Set the Target Backup field before extracting the change request in the source system so the setting is carried over to take effect in the target system. You can also alter the indicator in the target system.
