Hi,
Is there a way to (easily) export all the components used by service definitions from an existing system with the goal to import them on a new system?
In case there is no single “export” feature yet, what is the complete procedure I should follow to guarantee have everything? (Service definition, functions, drivers, profile defs, profile instances, profile params, all linked automation scripts, …)
Hi Mieke
The SRM solution offers some tools to migrate the components related to a Service Definition.
The functions used on that Service Definition can be migrated using SRM_ExportFunctions and SRM_ImportFunctions. Which will include the Function (either the system or the protocol function or the virtual function), the Profile Parameters and the Profile Definitions including the Profile Load scripts and their referenced libraries. When importing the functions, the required Connectors should already be available and set to production.
The Service Definition itself can be imported and exported SRM_ServiceDefinitionImportExport, the linked LSO action scripts are not included though.
The profile instances can be migrated by using PFM_ProfileInstancesImportExport.
To easily create resources, SRM_DiscoverResources can be used.
Thank you Peter for the feedback.
2 follow-up questions:
- Resource Import: the export of resources will generate an excel file where we can indicate TRUE in the Create column to generate the resource when Importing. What will happen if that resource already exists on the system? will it update, create a 2nd or do nothing?
- Service Def Export: in order to export this I require the service definition GUID. where can I find this?
Hi Mieke, you can find the IDs by adding the ‘debug=true’ argument. You can find more info in post https://community.dataminer.services/question/cube-is-debug-mode-available-on-the-cube-client/
Hi,
Regarding the first question on Resource Import: If a resource would already exist, the script will try and update the existing resource with the new configuration defined in the excel file.
Hi Mieke, for the service definitions IDs, as far as I know it is only available through the client test tool (Advanced -> Apps -> SRMSurveyor). In the drop-down list select ‘Service Definitions’ and click ‘Select Object Types’
