SAS Risk and Finance Workbench | Metadata backup

Hi folks,

I need to make a backup of the process definition and scripts used in SAS Risk and Finance Workbench. Anyone know where is stored on Server?

And how I made a backup of the project already executed?

Regards,

Hi @MariaD

You can use configuration archives to create a ZIP file and export the content. Check the RFW user guide for detailed steps. Not all content of RFW is stored on server as physical files, some are also present in the RFW internal DB.

Agreed that the configuration archive should help. One thing to keep in mind with scripts is that only "primary" scripts are included in the archive. If those scripts include or otherwise reference other scripts/macros, you'll want to be sure to back up those included files as well, as part of your backup process. Also, the RFW Admin Guide has a brief section on backing up metadata, databases, etc.
