The SAP J2EE administrator can back up and restore the entire set of client workspaces for Visual Composer users. This is done using the J2EE Engine Config Tool.

Note Note

You can back up (export) and restore (import) any object in the development server branch, enabling you to choose the level on which you perform your backups. For example, you can export all of the workspaces together - as described in the following section - or you can export a single model in one user workspace.

End of the note.

Procedure

To back up the workspaces:

  1. Open the Config Tool.

  2. Click the Configuration Editor toolbar button to switch to the mode in which you perform the export.

  3. On the Display configuration tab, in the Configurations tree, expand the developmentserver branch.

  4. From the ClientWorkspaces folder, choose Export from the context menu. The Export configuration dialog box is displayed.

  5. In the Destination file name field, enter the path and a name for the backup file.

  6. Click Start export. A file containing a backup of the data in all of the client workspaces is created.

To restore the backed-up data:

  1. Open the Config Tool.

  2. Click the Configuration Editor toolbar button to switch to the mode in which you perform the import.

  3. On the Display configuration tab, in the Configurations tree, expand the developmentserver branch.

  4. Click the Edit Mode toolbar button to switch from View mode to Edit mode.

  5. Check that the ClientWorkspaces folder is empty or has no users; otherwise, an exception will occur when you try to import.

  6. From the ClientWorkspaces folder, choose Import from the context menu. The Import configuration dialog box is displayed.

  7. In the Source file name field, browse to the name of the backup file containing the data to be restored.

  8. Click Start import. The data in the selected file is restored to the folder.

Note Note

To import a new client workspace, you must first register it in the J2EE user management engine (UME). Note also that the names are case-sensitive.
