Creating application object sets
You can create object sets of application objects to be used both for local recoveries and for disaster recoveries (if your disaster recovery strategy dictates that some applications must be recovered before others at the remote site).
You can create object sets using the BMC AMI Recovery Manager online interface or the ARMBGRP batch program. If you define these object sets using wildcards, with dynamic object set when you open the object sets, any new objects that match your definition will automatically be included in the object sets. The use of referential integrity checking ensures that all related objects will be backed up and recovered together. You also include the following objects when creating an object set:
- All of the table spaces that are associated by LOB relationships with the objects in the object set
- All of the objects that are associated by XML columns with the objects in the object set
- All of the objects that are associated by a history (versioning) relationship to those specified in the object set
Consider creating separate application object sets for disaster recovery and local usage.
- Creating a set of BMC AMI Recovery Manager object sets specifically for use in disaster recovery enables you to preset options that reflect the remote-site environment and to easily prioritize recovery. You may want to name these object sets to reflect the sequence in which you want them to be recovered at the recovery site. For example:
- DRGROUP1—accounts receivable
- DRGROUP2—inventory
- DRGROUP3—order entry
- Creating object sets for use in local recoveries enables you to preset options for these object sets that reflect the local environment and to take advantage of recovery methods that are only available for local recovery (for example, backout recovery).
