Online backup of a BCAM configuration serves the following purposes:
backup of the current BCAM configuration and of the operating parameters,
providing the option of a BCAM restart with the backed-up settings,
helping to migrate to a configuration defined by BCAM commands.
The implementation envisages that a SOF file should be generated from a complete backup using the same BCAM commands which restore the saved configuration in the specification in the DCSTART command.
It is also possible only to back up individual BCAM object groups. Backup takes place to a file which can be processed using CALL-BCAM-COMMANDS.
Activation, on the other hand, is not initiated within the generated configuration file. The system administrator is responsible for the way in which the configuration is activated.
