- Disaster Recovery: Version Control, Web Resources, Metadata

Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery procedures involve the following steps.

• 1. Restore the application server on which WOW is running. Normally, this will be either Tomcat or WebSphere.

     1. The WOW 6.4 download bundles all needed components plus Tomcat. This can be used to restore the

     2. application server in the event it is needed.

  2. Restore or replace the …/webapps/wow64 folder in your environment. This will restore all WOW’s application

• • 1. code plus any user specific files. It is recommended to back up your webapps occasionally, as all your custom

    2. resources reside here.

• 3. Restore AS/400 libraries PJSYS64 and PJUSER64 from your backups. These libraries contain metadata used to

• • 1. execute WOW based applications.

Version Control

Visit separate page on Version Control for more information/demonstration.

Web Resources (Java, JSPs, HTML, etc)

These resources are PC based files residing in your IDE of choice and ultimately in the webapps/wow64 folder of your

application server. These files can integrate with any PC version control package such as CSV. These web resources

residing in folder wow64 can be saved at a version boundary using a simple windows copy folder operation and archived

along with the metadata to provide version control and backup support.

Metadata

Metadata can be achieved at version boundaries with the associated web resources from above. Simply copying the

library or schema at a version boundary also provides for version control.

NOTE: Using the application library support described in this manual can enable multiple version support.
