Server Deployment

Hi all,

I’ve some doubts here,

1. During Server Configuration Migration, how the data files are copied to the destination server? Should we do it manually?
2. Are there any build process in place, so that we could build the Graphs and JobFlows? Or is it not necessary?
3. Is it possible to first create a Designer project and later connect to Server?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sreehareesh

Hi Sreehareesh,

To answer your questions:

  1. There is possibility to import/export Server data like users, groups, sandboxes, schedulers since 3.5.0 release - for details see http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/ … onfig.html

  2. There is no build process, graphs/JobFlows are interpreted. So your sandboxes can be freely copied, stored in VCS, etc.

  3. Yes, you may create project in designer first and then export into Server sandbox - http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/ … ndbox.html Please keep in mind, that some components does not run in standalone Designer - for example JobFlows.

I hope this helps.

Hi Jaroslav,

Support in this forum seems to be just AWESOME! Thanks for the prompt responses.

Your answers make perfect sense.

Hi Sreehareesh,

regarding the data inside sandboxes (data files, graphs etc) - these won’t be copied by the Configuration Migration feature. You need to handle these separately. Configuration Migration handles everything that’s stored in the server configuration database (e.g. users, listeners etc).

Hi Jaroslav,

One more doubt in the question I asked (3. Is it possible to first create a Designer project and later connect to Server?).

I’m able to export the project to server as the way you told. But when I’m doing the same, the parameters (inside workspace.prm file) are not getting exported to the server! :frowning:

Hi Sreehareesh,

In “Export to a CloverETL Server sandbox” window, you have to check you want to export workspace.prm as well. The checkbox is unchecked by default.
