No. Just bring down all IBM IS components, then make file backup.Is there need to bring down oracle xmeta instance before this file system back-up happen?
Just any of normal oracle database backup will be sufficient. It can be online backup or offline backup. Just do the backup while IBM IS components are shut down.For Xmeta back-up file system backup is sufficient to restore or it has to be oracle export (export.dmp)
Just write the script that will shutdown IBM IS components on all tiers using ssh connection (if Your OS is UNIX/Linux) from any of the tier nodes. Then script should do file backup and in the same time issue Your Oracle XMETA DB backup. Just please remember of correct shutdown sequence:If so how can I write a single script to bring down everything and from where I can execute this script (which tier) ---sorry I am new to the scripting
1. shutdown DS Engine
2. shutdown ASB
3. shutdown WebSphere
4. stop XMETA
If You need more help in writing such scripts I can be of service.
