As of December 1, 2020, Focal Point is retired and repurposed as a reference repository. We value the wealth of knowledge that's been shared here over the years. You'll continue to have access to this treasure trove of knowledge, for search purposes only. Moving forward, myibi is our community platform to learn, share, and collaborate. We have the same Focal Point forum categories in myibi, so you can continue to have all new conversations there. If you need access to myibi, contact us at myibi@ibi.com and provide your corporate email address, company, and name.
We have started using WebFOCUS (portal development only) now.
We have created some reports, pages, portals, etc. in our development environment.
I am thinking about backing up the above objects. I did not see any option in InfoAssist or BIP to backup individual files/objects. Change Management's Export option seems to be working based on Portal only.
We understand from our third party (responsible for metadata development and high level management of the system) that they backup the environment but we don't want to go to them to ask restoring a report, for example, when needed.
Is there any way where we can backup our own work and restore the same when needed?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Manoj.This message has been edited. Last edited by: FP Mod Chuck,

Are your reports stored under a domain? If so you can use the change management tool to selectively backup individual reports or anything under the domain.

Thanks Chuck. I can see the domain and also individual reports, folders, etc.. The only prerequisite is I need to be a member of the Admin group.
Kind regards,

I checked with product management and there is no functionality to screen for screening for recently changed. You could write a report against the repository and at least find out which reports have been recently updated and then use that list to create a change package. Sounds like a great new feature request to me.

A great way to accomplish all of this is, is to have GIT integrated with WebFOCUS, unfortunately supporting GIT doenst have any prioriy at IBI This message has been edited. Last edited by: Frans,
