Backing Up Application Programs and Files
Backing Up Application Programs and Files
To enable the backup system to take over in the event of a primary system failure, you
need to put usable copies of all program files, OBEY command files, and other files
your applications use on the backup system. You can do this by using the Autosync
product. After copying these files, you might need to change names to reflect the
backup system’s naming conventions, and you might need to recompile some
programs.
The following practices are recommended:
•
SQL compile all NonStop SQL/MP programs after moving them to the backup
system. A static recompilation reduces the applications’ startup costs after an RDF
takeover operation.
Alternatively, you can use the late binding feature. To do this, the SIMILARITY
CHECK attribute for all referenced tables and protection views must be enabled
and the program compiled with the CHECK INOPERABLE PLANS option.
•
Use DEFINEs for all NonStop SQL/MP objects where possible; this simplifies the
commands for your OBEY command files and the commands for your NonStop
SQL/MP DDL operations.
