Import/Restore

Steps for offline migration (Import/Restore)

1. Select the Import/Retain radio button on the Offline Actions screen and click Next. This displays the Import Actions screen.
   

   
   
   

   
   This screen displays the Import migration actions, which are outlined in the table below.
   Table 6: Import Actions

   Action	Description
   All	Migrates Database object, Data Files and configuration file. Database Objects includes Activities, Process Flows, Users and Groups etc. Data Files includes Data Dictionary XSDs, Custom Methods and WSDL etc. Configuration Files includes Server-Configure.Properties, and Launcher.properties etc. If you select All and click Next, two options are displayed. Those options are given below: Skip Configuration File: Select this option if you want to migrate only Database Objects and Data Files and not the Configuration Files. Include Configuration Files: Select this option if you want to migrate all Database Objects, Data Files and Configuration Files.
   Only Database	Migrates only Database objects. Data Files and Configuration file are not migrated using this option.
   Only Configuration File	Migrates only Configuration Files. Database Objects and Data Files are not migrated using this option.

   In case you have selected WebSphere Build, you can only use Only Database option.

2. Select the required option and click Next. This displays the Select Source Data Location screen.

   
   
   

3. Click Browse to select the zip file created in the Export process and click Next. The Select Target Location screen is displayed.

   

    

4. Click Browse to select the directory, where the target system of the Adeptia Server is installed and click Next, for example, C:\Program Files\AdeptiaSuite \AdeptiaSuite-6.1\ AdeptiaServer.

   In case you have selected WebSphere Build, you need to select the AdeptiaSharedLibrary folder in the above step.

5. Screen which is displayed next depends on the option that you have selected in Select Action screen.
   
   1. In case you have select All, all objects are deployed at the target environment.
   2. In case you have selected Only Database option, then the next screen displays the list of all the tables of the Adeptia Server.

   
   
   

   Select the checkbox(s) against the objects that you want to restore.
   You can select one or more objects.

   All objects that are prefixed with ABPM are quartz tables. These tables and the dt_properties objects are listed in case of the SQL Server database. It is recommended not to restore these objects as the migration process is likely to fail in such a case, as all tables in the source and target databases should be the same. If they are different then deselect the log objects such as (AU_Log and AU_TransactionData) as it slows down the migration process.

   You need to be careful while migrating objects, as if an error occurs, it cannot be undone. Additionally, if the migration process fails, you have to rollback the entire operation.

6. In case you select Only Configuration Files option then the next screen displays the list of all the configuration files for all objects of the Adeptia Server. 
   

   
   
   

   Select the checkbox(s) for the files that you want to restore.
   You can select one or more files.

7. Click Next. This displays the View Restore Logs screen.

This screen displays all logs and confirms whether the import operation is successful or not. If it is successful, a message stating, "Selected database tables restored successfully" is displayed in the View Restore Logs screen and as a popup window. In case of failure, it displays an error message in the View Restore Logs screen and as a popup window.
Once the migration process is complete, you can start the target environment.
