Exporting Configuration of component types managed using Integration Console

In many IT infrasructures, as an industry-standard best practice, administrators may have managed a brand new component type using the Integration Console capability offered by the eG Enterprise Suite, and may want to manage the same component type across the servers in their environment. To achieve this, administrators may have to painstakingly document the ‘ideal’ configuration and then manually login to each server, add the IC component type one by one. To reduce the manual effort and time involved in this exercise, eG Enterprise enables administrators to quickly apply the configuration of a component type managed using the Integration Console to other servers at one go, using a simple export-import routine.

To export the configuration settings of a component type that is managed using the Integration Console capability - say, Component A_ex - do the following:

  1. Login to the eG administrative interface.

  2. Follow the menu sequence: Admin -> Miscellaneous -> Export/Import Configuration -> Integration Console -> Component. The Export/Import Configuration - Integration Console - Component page will then appear.

  3. By default, the Export configuration tab page of the Export/Import Configuration page will open. Using this tab page you can export the configuration settings of a component listed in this page.

    To select a configuration, click on the check box corresponding to the component type i.e., Component A_ex. To select all displayed component types, click on the check box against the Component Type. To search for a component type of your choice, you can use the Search text box. If you wish to deselect a component type, then you can uncheck the check box against the component type. To deselect all the component types, uncheck the check box against the Component Type.

  4. Then, click on the Export button to begin exporting the settings of the chosen component types. eG Enterprise exports the configuration settings you select to a zip file, which is by default named in the following format: <Fully qualified host name>_eGICComponent_<Date of export>.zip. This zip file will by default be downloaded to the default download destination that you have configured in your browser. Once the export completes successfully, the contents of this zip file will be displayed on-screen for you to take a look.
