Export Config component

The Export Config component exports the schema and configuration stored in an Endeca data domain.

Export Config component

The Export Config component uses Configuration Web Service operations.
  • The component exports the configuration and schema through an output port. You can connect this port to a Writer component to write the exported configuration and schema into a file. This file can be imported later to apply the configuration to a data domain.
  • The component does not export your view definitions. To export view definitions, use the listEntities operation of the Entity Configuration Service. For details, see the Oracle Endeca Sever Developer's Guide.

Use cases

The Export Config and Import Config connectors are intended to be used in the following cases:
  • You want to save and re-apply modifications to a data domain configuration. These modifications may have been implemented using Integrator or using Studio (for example changing attribute groups or attribute group names). Once you have made a change, you generally want to preserve it and re-apply it if you need to clear or update the data domain. Use these connectors to export a configuration and to re-apply the configuration later.
  • You want to run a baseline updates to refresh and reload data. The typical scenario consists of the following graphs:
    1. A graph using the Export Config connector to export the configuration and schema of the data domain.
    2. A graph using the Reset Data Domain to remove all records and re-provision the Endeca data domain.
    3. A graph using the Import Config to import and restore the configuration to the data domain.
    4. A graph to reload the data records.
    5. A graph using the Transaction RunGraph component. This graph starts a transaction that runs the other graphs.

The following table describes the configuration properties available for the Export Config component.

Table 1. Export Config properties
Name Description Valid Values Example
Endeca Server Host Identifies the machine on which the Endeca Server is running. The name or IP address of the machine. You can use localhost. MyEndecaServer

255.255.255.0

Endeca Server Port Identifies the port on which the Endeca Server is listening. Valid ports.

The default Endeca Server port is 7001, but it can be changed to another port.

7001
Endeca Server Context Root Identifies the WebLogic application root context of the Endeca Server Valid root context names in WebLogic /endeca-server
Data Domain Name Name of the data domain that will be modified.

The data domain should be running when the graph containing the connector is run.

SSL Enabled Enables or disables SSL for the component.

SSL should only be enabled when the Endeca Server to which you are connecting has SSL enabled.
