About Backing Up the CA EEM Server

The configuration for each CA User Activity Reporting Module server, agent, and connector as well as queries, reports, alerts, and so forth is maintained separately in the management CA User Activity Reporting Module server's CA EEM repository. The key to successful server recovery is in maintaining regular backups of information stored in the CA User Activity Reporting Module application instance.

An application instance is a common space in the CA EEM repository that stores the following information:

You can perform the CA EEM backup procedure from within the CA EEM web browser interface. Typically, all CA User Activity Reporting Module servers in an enterprise use the same application instance. The default CA User Activity Reporting Module application instance value is CAELM. You can install CA User Activity Reporting Module servers with different application instances, but you can only federate those servers that share the same application instance. Servers configured to use the same CA EEM server but with different application instances share only the user store, password policies, and global groups.

The CA EEM Getting Started has more information about backup and restore operations.
