When you use the Cognos® backup
utility, you run the OPCCBackup command in a command or shell window.
Procedure
-
From a command or shell window, navigate to the
<CC_Home>/tools/bin, where
<CC_Home>
represents the installation location of the Cognos application.
-
Run the following backup command:
-
Windows
-
OPCCBackup <path-to-backup-location>
-
Linux®
-
OPCCBackup.sh <path-to-backup-location>
Where:
<path-to-backup-location> is the full path of the backup
directory on the Cognos server. The file path is
optional.
Note: If no file path is specified, the OPCCBackup command uses, by
default, the backup location that is specified in the BACKUP_LOCATION parameter of
the
<CC_Home>|tools|bin|op-cc-backup-restore.env file.
Results
The backup process creates a log file in the <backup-directory-name>
directory. Each time you run the OPCCBackup command, a separate log file is
generated.
