Hi Everyone,
I used recently the DELT functions to migrate all my elements from a DMA agent to another. But it seems on the target agent i missed many Dll files.
Do you know if thoses Dll should be included in the dmimport file ?
What is the difference beetween use backup restore and import via DELT features ?
Thanks
Hi,
During a DELT export, only the protocol directory is scanned for DLLs to be exported. Nuget references and DLLs present under ProtocolScripts/DllImport folder are not copied over, so these will indeed be missing when importing the DELT package on another DMS. There is already a task (217821) added on the backlog to fix this, but this is currently not implemented yet (don't know an expected target release either).
The difference between a backup restore and a DELT is that the backup restore is more on a higher level per DMA and provides more possibilities e.g. to have a backup of the user settings, DataMiner settings, etc. Such backup is more intended to be able to restore a DMA to a previous state, while a DELT export provides the possibility to export all items related to an element (protocol, view, automation script where it is being used, saved parameter values,...) and import this on another DMS, for example first an element is configured and tested in a staging environment and is then through DELT added to the production environment, or when an investigation needs to happen that one can export the element and further investigated in a testing environment.
Regards,
