Importing 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 enable a manager say, Manager B to import the configuration that was exported from a manager say Manager A, follow the steps below:

  1. First, copy the zip file that was exported from the default download destination of the Manager A to any folder on Manager B's host.

  2. Then, login to Manager B's administrative interface and select the Component option from the Export/Import Configuration option that is available under the Miscellaneous menu of the Admin tile.

  3. From the Export/Import Configuration - Integration Console - Component page, click on the Import configuration tab page.

  4. Using the Browse button in this page, browse the Manager B's host to locate the zip file that contains the configurations to be imported.

  5. Then, click on the Upload button to upload the file to the server.

  6. Once the file is uploaded, all the component types that were exported by Manager A will then appear. With the help of this page, you can choose the component types that you want to import. To select a component type, click on the check box corresponding to it. To select all displayed component types, click on the check box agaist the Component Type. To deselect a particular component type, simply uncheck the check box corresponding to the component type in this page. To search for a component of your choice, you can use the Search option.

  7. To begin the import of the selected component types, click on the Import button.

  8. If import is successful, a message stating “Component type has been imported successfully” will appear in this page.
