Exporting and Importing Configurations (2.13)
For your solution, InterSystems (or other solution partner) sets up and maintains multiple parallel environments so that development and testing activities can safely occur without disturbing mission-critical activities. To simplify the process of keeping the environments synchronized, InterSystems Data Studio™ provides options for exporting and importing configurations.
Here the term configuration refers to any of the items that you configure within the solution, including schemas, recipes, users, roles, and supported data sources such as file directory sources.
Exporting Configurations
To export one or more configurations:
-
Click the Management
icon in the application menu. -
In the Config Management section, click Export.
-
Click the check box next to each configuration that you want to export.
-
Click Export Selected.
The system creates a ZIP file that contains all the selected configurations and it downloads that file to the download location specified by the browser. The name of the file has the form BundleZip <datetime> .zip.
Note:Configuration bundles can include file directory data sources. When selected, these data sources are exported along with other configuration items.
The ZIP file contains one file for each configuration, and for those files, the filename format is itemname . itemtype, for example: MyTestRecipe.TotalViewRecipe.
Editing Configurations
You can unzip, edit, and rezip a configuration file. Do not change the name of the file.
Use the following command to rezip the file:
ditto -ck --rsrc --sequesterRsrc bundleFolder bundle.zip
Importing Configurations
To import one or more configurations:
-
Create a ZIP file that contains the configuration files.
-
Click the Management
icon in the application menu. -
In the Config Management section, click Import.
-
Click in the upload area and navigate to your file.
-
Click Import All.
The system displays a dialog box indicating whether the import was successful, along with information about any errors.
-
Click Close.
When importing configuration bundles, only file directory data sources are supported. Other data source types included in a bundle are not imported.
