Implementing Processes › Back Up Global Processes

Back Up Global Processes

To assist you with the maintenance of your global processes, you can create backup versions of your global process image. By creating a backup version of your global process image, you can perform the following:

• Update global process definitions in any version of a global process image.
• Restore a global process definition from a backup global process image.
• Merge two versions of a global process image.

To create a backup version of a global process image

1. Enter /ASADMIN.GPI at the prompt.

   The Global Process Image List appears.

   Note: If you have not created a backup before, there is only one global process image listed: $PROCESS 0001. The active global process image can only be $PROCESS 0001. $PROCESS 0001 cannot be deleted.

2. Enter C beside the global process image you want to copy.

   The Global Process Image Definition panel appears.

3. Enter a new Database Version, Short Description, and Long Description.
4. Press F3 (File).

   The backup version of the global process image is saved. A copy in progress panel appears while the copy occurs. The Global Process Image List appears with the backup version displayed in the list.

   If the global process image you have specified already exists, the Confirm System Image Merge panel appears.
