Export/Import objects - 2 different environments

[Klaus Lintz]

Hi Team

Customer have requirement to promote objects from non-prod environment to production environment.

Currently they use the normal manual export/import functions. Looking for a automated process.

The environments are 2 separate systems.

I have done some work to promote objects between clients in the non-prod environment (DEV, TST, PPE) using the transport case unload & load functionality.

Any ideas will be welcomed.

Thanks

Hi @Klaus Lintz,

I use 3 jobs in a workflow to do this (not the most efficient way, but works for us ;))

Workflow: Accepts folder path of the object and the destination environment PHRASE & Client number through a prompt

Job 1: Runs a java api program with the folder path as parameter --> This will put all the objects inside the specified folder to transport case.

Job2: Runs ucybdbun on the source AE and put the .txt file in a network share.

Job3: Runs ucybdbld on the destination AE server (server is selected based on the phrase) and loads the transport file to the appropriate client.

Hallo Klaus,

we use the following method (simplified process):

1. TESTSYSTEM: We write the objectnames we want to transfer in a vara -> for example with a script via UC_SENDTO

2. TESTSYSTEM: We start a workflow which will read the vara and export the objects via ":SET &RET# = EXPORT(&OBJECT#,&FILE#)". Then the workflow transfers these objects to the prod-server in a specified folder

3. PRODSYSTEM: There is an event running which will check the folder every minute. If the folder contains objects -> start an import-workflow

I don't recommend mass transport, but for less objects at one time it is ok.

Regards
Bernhard

Hi

Both ideas are great.

Is there a possibility to sent me an export.

Hello Klaus,

in this archive are the objects for a transfer of objects from test- to prod-system. I think the workflows will not work on your system for differnt settings, missing includes etc., but maybe gives you a hint how to realize a transfer.

Remarks:

- The objects are exported on V21.0.3
- We transfer only objects, not folders
- Our departments are called "T01", "T02" , etc. I use the dept at the import-script

Regards

Bernhard

Attached the xml just to give you an idea of it, as I have not included the resource.
