Adeptia Connect allows you to generate export.xml and import.xml files along with the zip files after each migration activity by configuring the following two properties (migration.create.exportXml and migration.create.importXml) in the migration.properties file.

No XML file will be generated in case of compare (Linux) or Promote (Windows), Install accelerators, and offline migration.

The xml files are generated in the following format at the locations mentioned below:

Export_<zip name>.xml is generated at the same location as that of the export.zip.
Import_<zip name>.xml is generated at the same location as that of the source zip file.

The xml files generated after each migration helps you perform the Noninteractive Migration, also referred as silent migration, effortlessly.

This support is available only when you use the migration utility for migrating objects from one environment to another using the Environment Promotion option.

Follow the steps below to configure this property in the migration.properties file:

Go to .../<AdeptiaInstallFolder>/AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/MigrationUtility folder.
Open the migration.properties file.
Set the value for the migration.create.exportXml and migration.create.importXml properties. The possible values for these two properties are 'yes', 'no', and 'ask'.

The default value for these properties is no.
1. Set the value for these properties to 'yes' if you want the xml file to be created along with the zip file during migration.
  The format of the file name will be export_<zip name>.xml or import_<zip name>.xml, for example, export_template.xml.
2. In case you set it to 'no', no XML file will be created.
3. Setting the property value to 'ask' displays a check box asking for your confirmation on creating the XML file. For example,
  - If you are deploying the objects in Windows environment and you have defined the value for migration.create.importXml property as ask, then a check box “Create import xml file to be used in future in noninteractive migration?” appears on the Select Source data location screen.
  - If you are deploying the objects in Linux environment and you have defined the value for migration.create.importXml property as ask, then it poses a question “Do you want to create import.xml file to be used in future in noninteractive migration?” for which you need to type “Y” for yes and “N” for no.

The property value is not case sensitive.
The XML files will be generated only when the migration is done successfully.

4. Save the file.

After updating the properties in the migration.properties file with the desired values, you can migrate the objects from one environment to another by following the instructions listed in the following documents:

For Windows, click here.
For Linux, click here.

If an xml file with the same name as that of the newly created one already exists, it is overwritten by the new xml file.
