Oracle Export

You can use the Oracle Export utility to make a logical backup of the CA Harvest SCM data. This type of backup has the advantage of being recoverable on a different computer. To restore CA Harvest SCM to the time of the export, use the Oracle Import utility.

You do not need to shut down CA Harvest SCM during export. However, execute export at a time of low usage so performance is not affected. CA Harvest SCM must be shut down to restore this type of backup.

The following export parameters let you create an export dump file that contains all CA Harvest SCM data:

USERID

Specifies the name/password of the Oracle user that owns the CA Harvest SCM schema.

FILE

Specifies the name of the file to contain export data.

LOG

Specifies the name of the file for storing export messages.

OWNER

Specifies the name of the Oracle user that owns the CA Harvest SCM schema.

You can check the export log file for errors. If no errors exist, save the exported dump file to tape or some other backup media.
