Save and restore: administrative configuration

The administrative configuration contains vital information regarding your WebSphere Application Server setup, and it should be backed up.

Administration server configuration

Most of the configuration for your WebSphere Application Server instance resides in the config directory structure. In addition, the properties directory also contains several important configuration files. For more information on the configuration content stored in the properties directory, see Properties files. For more information about the configuration content stored in the config directory structure, see Administrative repository.

Save and restore these properties files using the Save (SAV) and Restore (RST) commands, for example:

SAV DEV('/QSYS.lib/wsalib.lib/wsasavf.file')
 OBJ(('/QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/Base/instanceName/properties/*')
  ('/QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/Base/instanceName/config/*'))

where instanceName is the name of your instance. The default instance name is default.

Note: This command has been wrapped for display purposes. Enter it as one command.

RST DEV('/QSYS.lib/wsalib.lib/wsasavf.file') OBJ('/QIBM/*')
