Application server - configuration files backup and restore

The application server has configuration files, which should be backed up whenever you change them. Use the backupConfig script in the <TWA_home>/wastools directory for HCL Workload Automation or in the <TDWC_INSTALL_PATH>/wastools for the Dynamic Workload Console.

The files are restored, if necessary, using the restoreConfig script in the same directory.

There is no need to stop the application server to perform the backup, but you must stop and restart the server if you have restored the files from a previous backup.
