Noninteractive Migration

You can run Migration utility in noninteractive mode, also referred to as silent mode or silent installation. In this mode, the utility gets information from a text file (import.xml or export.xml) specified at the Command Prompt using -export or -import argument instead of interactive GUI input and output.

Migration utility in a Noninteractive mode allows you to export and import the objects from one environment to another environment without any user intervention.

Following are the parameters that are parsed from export.xml while exporting objects:

  • Adeptia Suite installation folder of the source environment
  • Location where you want to store the exported zip
  • Type of export. Process flow or activities or both or projects
  • Groups whose objects you want to export
  • Users whose objects you want to export
  • Projects whose objects you want to export
  • Solution database information
  • List of activities that you want to export
  • List of process flows that you want to export
  • List of tables you want to export
  • Folders and files that you want to export

Similarly, parameters are parsed from import.xml while importing objects:

  • Adeptia Suite installation folder of the target environment
  • Location of the exported zip
  • Location of the retain.xml file
  • Id of the group, which will be the owner group of the imported objects in the target environment
  • Id of the OverrideModifiedByUser, which will be the owner of the imported objects in the target environment
  • Id of the user, which will be the owner of the imported objects in the target environment
  • Solution tables connection parameter used to connect to solution database
