Importing Objects

After you've created the export.zip file, you can import the objects using import.xml file. A successful import completes the migration process, and you'll be able to access all the objects in your new environment. 

To import objects:

1. Copy the import.xml file PVC shared location <shared>/migration/template, and paste it to another folder.
   For example, shared/migration/custom/import.xml.

2. Open import.xml in a text editor and do the followings.

   1. Type the location of the export zip file that you want to import in the <SourceZipLoc>.

      

   2. Type the location of retain.xml file in the <RetainXMlLocation>. 

   3. Enter the User Id of the user to whom you want to provide the ownership of the objects that you are deploying from the source environment in the <OverrideUser>.
   4. Save the file.

3. Provide values for the following properties and environment variables in values.yaml file as shown in the table below.

   Variable/Property	Value
   BACKEND_DB_URL	<URL of the backend database server>
   BACKEND_DB_USERNAME	<Username of your backend database server>
   BACKEND_DB_PASSWORD	<Password for your backend database server>
   BACKEND_DB_DRIVER_CLASS	<Backend database driver class name>
   BACKEND_DB_TYPE	<Type of the backend database server> For example, SQL-server.
   SHARED_PATH	<Environment variable in the values.yaml file that contains the configured shared path> The default value for this variable is /shared. This is the folder created at the root level in the PVC when you deploy Adeptia Connect.
   MIGRATION_XML_FILE_PATH	<Path of the import.xml in PVC> For example, shared/migration/custom/import.xml.

   
   

4. Navigate to the migration directory, and run the below command to import the objects.

   helm upgrade -i migration adeptia/migration -f adeptia/values.yaml -n <NAMESPACE>

   The Migration job does not get deleted automatically after the migration is complete. You need to manually delete it before you start a new migration process. 

Rolling back the import operation

If you decide upon rolling back the import operation, you need to follow the instructions given below.

1. Change the values for the following two parameters in the import.xml file.
   
   1. Enter rollback as the value for the operation attribute.

   2. Type the location of the rollback ZIP file in the <SourceZipLoc> tag. 

      The rollback ZIP is created at the location where your Exported ZIP is created in the PVC. 
      
      The format of rollback ZIP file name is Recovery_<EXPORT_ZIP_NAME>.zip.

2. Navigate to the migration directory, and run the below command to perform the rollback operation.

   helm upgrade -i migration adeptia/migration -f adeptia/values.yaml -n <NAMESPACE>

   RetainXmlLocation, OverRideuser, and OverrideModifiedByuser parameters are not applicable in case of rollback.
