5.6.8 Create Backup/Image of the environment

After the installation is complete, it is advisable to create an image of your environment, backup procedures depend on the size of your database and the type of operation you are running. For instance, you coudl back up to:

￿Hard Disk Drive: Lets you restore your system quickly

￿Tape Drive; Slower, but you can keep multiple tapes of backups

￿CDs, DVDs, diskettes : Limited capacity, but is useful for smaller databases, archive files, or specific executables.

5.6.9Automate the Backup Procedure

Schedule and regularly perform system and database backups. It is advisable you perform system restores from the production environment to your development/acceptance environment on regular intervals to test this procedure.

5.6.10 Assess the server workload

In having taken the sizing considerations of the previous chapter into account it is advisable to monitor the performance of Maximo on a continuous basis. This step will also form part of the user acceptance testing. However there are many methods you can implement to improve and maintain the application’s performance on a continuous basis.

If your implementation increases in size, an increase in workload or system enlargement over time consider load balancing the server environments, server clustering is a recommended solution by which you can distribute user loads over various application servers to maintain consistent server performance.

5.6.11 Client Local/Regional Settings Properties

If the users are based in one location, ensure that the regional settings of their workstations are matching to that of their region, a common issue could be date and time format conflicts.
