Determining the location of the global configuration database

Before you can back up the global configuration database, you must determine the location of the database.

To determine the database that is used by the global configuration database:

1. Determine the data source that was used when the global configuration database was created:
   1. In Configuration Manager, open your configuration profile.
   2. Right-click Configure Bootstrap Properties in the profile pane and click Edit Selected Task.
   3. Click View Bootstrapped EAR Information to display the bootstrap information from the EAR file.
2. In your application server console, view the information for the data source. For example, in WebLogic, you will find the information listed in the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) data sources. The database information is indicated in the connection pool URL.
