Back Up and Recovery

Back Up

The user is responsible for the back up of the Cross Application System. Because of the many options for performing a back up, the specific instructions for doing the back up are not addressed here. If you are inexperienced at doing back ups, refer to the the AS/400 manual relating to this topic.

There is one library for the Cross Application System. The name of the librariy as supplied is IFGEN. This library should be backed up daily.

Recovery

The Cross Application System may need to be restored from time to time because of some event which has caused the data in the library to become inaccessible or unusable. The IFGEN library should be restored from the most recent back up in accordance with the instructions found in the appropriate AS/400 manual.

Any data which was entered into the system after the library was last backed up must recovered in either one of two ways. Either manually or by submission from other subsystems. You should file your source data in such a manner as to allow the rebuild of any missing transactions.
