Archiving Folder in OBIEE

3467046

Hello,

Our Production Catalog has a sub-folder under Shared Folders where some of our users develop business reports. These are quick analyses (ad-hoc reports). Business wants to take backup of these reports at daily basis to avoid a scenarios where someone by mistakes deletes a report. There is a backup strategy implemented in the project but the backup happens only once per day and that too at windows/unix box level. It doesn't happen at OBIEE level. They can probably manually archive the folder but they want to use an automated way.

Do you think we can create a unix script that archives or copies a particular sub-folder under Shared folder? This script will then run daily and users dont have to manually archive the folder.

Please note this is a very specific sub folder (Shared Folder/Business Reports).

Thanks!

Hi,

Have a look at: runcat.sh -cmd archive and runcat.sh -cmd unarchive (or runcat.cmd if on Windows).

You can script the archive command and specify the exact path of the catalog you want to archive (or a list of folders and reports).
