Import isolated region configuration data
Use the following procedure to import the source isolated region
information into the destination isolated region. The procedure applies
to both Windows®- and UNIX®-based Process Engine servers.
To import isolated region configuration data:
- In Process Configuration Console, select the destination isolated region.
- From the Action menu, select Import from XML, and then browse to locate the XML file that contains the exported configuration data.
- Select one of the following check boxes:
- Overwrite - Add the imported properties to the destination isolated region, replacing any queues, rosters, and event logs of the same name in the destination isolated region. If the destination isolated region contains operations that are in use, the commit process will fail. In addition, if there are any transferred workflows that use a queue, that queue will not be overwritten even if the workflows are not running at the time of the import.
This option is appropriate for importing from a development environment into a newly initialized region that will be used for a production environment.
ATTENTION If you use the Overwrite option to import into a destination region that has been in use for some time, items of the same name will be overwritten, which can lead to unexpected results.
If the exported source contains a UDDI repository, the business name, authorized user, operator, and other business and contact information are imported; the inquiry URL and business key are generated for the destination region.
- Merge - Add the imported properties to the current properties of the destination isolated region. If the destination isolated region contains items of the same name as those in the imported (source) isolated region, the imported items are discarded.
For an in-use destination region, this option preserves any existing properties in the destination region, adding only new properties from the source region.
If the exported source contains system properties, the import will skip the import of the user information if that user is not defined on the destination system. This applies to both overwrite and merge.
If the exported source contains a UDDI repository, only contact information is imported; business information is not imported.
- When the import process completes, click Details to view the progress log.
If you import with System Properties from a non-default region, click Refresh to update display of the properties.
