Transport Question

[Former Member]

Can someone explain me TRansport using File system please ?. I have some links to other postings on this subject.

My Q is

We will export XI objects at Software Component Version level. When you import the same in Target IR, Do we have to create Software component in SLD before we do import?. How does it work?. Can someone please explain. We have brand new system and I need to transport from Dev to QA and then to Prod eventually. So right now there are no Software components defined in QA. we have centalized SLD and Dev,QA and PROD on one single SLD.

Ram,

Irrespective of whether you have a Common SLD or Different SLD's , you need not create the SWCV manually in your SLD. When you transport the SWCV and import it into your new IR, the corresponding entries will happen in SLD.

In your source system,. say tool--> Export --> using file system and then select your SWCV. The exported TPZ file wll be placed in the EXPORT directory of your server.

Now, copy this TPZ file into the import directory of your new server and then tolls --> import.

For the export and import directories, XI Homepage --> Administration --> General Information.,

Regards,

Bhavesh

Hi Ram,

To my knowledge Since centalized SLD for Dev,QA and PROD, So no need to create Software component in SLD before importing to the target IR of QA (Dev to QA transport).
