Using repos_copy

Repos_copy is a command line interface for working with integration components and InterChange Server repositories. It allows you to deploy a package--a collection of integration components--to a server repository, or to export components from the repository to a package.

To run repos_copy, enter the command at a shell prompt (UNIX) or in an MS-DOS command prompt window (Windows). The ProductDir/bin directory, where the utility resides, should be in your path as a result of installation.

Note:
The repos_copy output file contains encrypted passwords for relationships and connector applications. If you try to edit the output file and change these passwords, repos_copy will not work.
Important:
When repos_copy deploys components to the repository, it deploys them to the repository only. It does not deploy them to any in-memory tables of business object definitions. When you userepos_copyto deploy components, you do not need to reboot the server. However, the server does need to be rebooted if you use repos_copy -d. Otherwise the in-memory data structure will not be updated.
