Visual Composer transport shared/public models - not working.

Former Member

Hi All,

I am trying to transport a public/shared model from one dev server to another development server. When I transport the models and iviews to another machine, I could see them in PCD. However when I open Visual composer on target portal server, I am not able to see those transported models in shared repository. Why ?

I could right click the model and open it from PCD but it still does not appear in shared models. What can I do to get the transported models appear in shared/public repository?

Regards

Hi,

Fabien is correct.

The best practice is that the development takes place in the DEV machine, and the produced iView are later transported to QA and PROD.

notice that the iViews are transported and not the Model repository.

each machine has it's own model repository, and you cannot transport it from one machine to the other. (public or not)

Hi amir,

I guess, it is also possible to transport models. the problem is that they are not imported into a shared repository as expected.

Yes, I can see your situation, but I am not sure of its possible realization... It is not meant to work this way.

Hi,

I'm afraid I can't really understand how you managed to transport the models to another machine. could you please enlighten us? it sounds intresting...

did you create a regular transport package via portal?

Hi Amir,

We did not find any solution to our problems. It is quite surprising that SAP did not think about this scenario. What we did is this.

1) Export the model from source DEV machine as GML file.

2) Create a model in target dev machines public repository

3) Import the gml file into it.

4) Deploy the model into target dev machine.

5) Delete all original VC iviews, delta links to pages, worksets and roles.

6) Recreate them again.

I know that this is not a solution. But we did not find any alternative. Hope this helps. We are planning to create a ticket with SAP on this.

Hello Pallayu,

I am currently facing the same issue as you (Not able to see the shared/transport model in public folder), Has SAP come up with some solution?

Hi,

this is a standard behaviour for me, as you should not modify your model in QUAL or PROD, but use the final result (your iview) in these two environment. You need to have the same application in DEV/QUAL/PROD, so no need to change the model in QUAL.

This is the philosophy here - I think.

hi Fabian,

We are in some kind of product scenario. We are developing some VC iviews which needs to be transported to client's environment. Client can further modify them to suit their requirements. So basically the transport is between dev to dev rather than dev to qa to production.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
