About Disaster Recovery

Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence is built upon Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and leverages the Oracle PaaS services for disaster recovery.

For the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence prebuilt content, you can provision a fresh Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence environment with the latest software and perform the data activation steps. Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications provides the data for Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. Use a data reset to populate Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence with historical data from the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications source at any time. Customizations to Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence and any custom ETL and schemas are the key concerns in case of a region-wide disaster recovery event.

If you need a disaster recovery strategy for region-wide failures keeping in view the customizations and custom objects, then here are two suggestions. For an active solution, you can purchase another Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription and provision it in a region other than production Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. You can still connect this secondary environment to the same Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications source as the primary and refresh data just like the primary environment. Maintain the secondary environment in synchrony with the primary production environment by repeating any action taken in the primary environment. You can switch business users to the secondary environment any time. For a passive solution, you can provision an Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Additional Test Environment (ATE) in a different region than the production environment and maintain it in synchrony with the primary production environment in terms of all the customizations. In the case of a disaster event, scale-up the ATE instance, refresh data to production level, and switch business users to using this environment.

You can restore from an Autonomous Data Warehouse backup and then reload from your source. If you've multiple sources, then you must reload all the sources, else you might miss a portion of the data. When you restore the content, the system restores it to the point of backup. Any incremental content that you added between the backup and restore actions won't be available. If your instance has been upgraded after you've taken a backup and you restore on the upgraded instance, then the platform is upgraded to the new instance version before the content is restored.
