Summary

Backing up and restoring an environment should be relatively simple. After all, software is merely a bunch of files scattered across various filesystems. However, the two challenges that Oracle SOA Suite 12c administrators face when the need to restore arises are as follows:

  • To identify what exactly needs to be recovered
  • At what state or point in time you should recover them

In this chapter, we described all the various components that need to be backed up in an Oracle SOA Suite 12c environment, then followed up with detailing how to actually perform the backup. Specifically, we covered the following:

  • The various static files in an Oracle SOA Suite 12c installation such as Oracle system files, the JDK, and the Oracle SOA Home
  • Runtime artifacts that include the database and SOA domain
  • The implications of backing up and restoring JMS file stores and transaction logs
  • A backup strategy; focusing on what needs to be backed up after installations, upgrades, patches, and configuration changes; as well as a recommended regular backup schedule
  • The backup commands for Linux-based installations
  • Key recovery strategies and considerations

At this point, you should be fully capable of backing up your environment with a thorough enough understanding of when to restore individual components as needed.
