Backing up the PostgreSQL database on Linux

Use the script

db_backup.sh

to back up the PostgreSQL database.

To back up the PostgreSQL database, perform the following steps:

Go to

<Secure Agent installation directory>/apps/process-engine/data/db/util

Run the following command:

db_backup.sh <dbusername> <dbpassword> <path to backup file along with name of backup file>.dump <dbport>

For example, the Secure Agent creates the backup file

backupfile1.dump

in the location

/home/data/myfolder/

if you run the following command:

db_backup.sh bpeluser bpel "/home/data/myfolder/backupfile1.dump" 6432

The dbport argument is optional. Specify the dbport argument if you use a port that is different from the default port, 5432.
