Perform regular testing of the recovery plan for your SAP Mobile Platform infrastructure in a testing environment that
mimics your production environment. These tests allow you to discover the length of time
needed to recover your system, and any potential issues with the process or strategy you have
created.
You may need to perform disaster recovery tests to comply with
corporate business continuity policies. SAP
does not require testing as part of runtime maintenance, but recommends it as part of a
larger continuity process.
Test the
recovery process either by:- Validating that the backup and recovery process are working as expected, and
that the documentation describing the process is valid and readily available in
case of a disaster.
- (Recommended) In a testing environment, perform an actual
failover to the backup database, then fail back to the primary database after the
test is completed. Do not perform this test in a production environment.
