Exporting Workbench users from Tools and Frameworks 11.1

You can use the export_users script in Tools and Frameworks 11.1 to export user information from your 11.1 Workbench installation.

To export Workbench users from Tools and Frameworks 11.1:

  1. Configure the export_users script:

    1. Navigate to the ToolsAndFrameworks\11.1.0\admin\conf directory.

    2. Open the export_users.properties file in a text editor.

    3. Set the following properties:

      Property

      Description

      source.version

      The version of Tools and Frameworks you are migrating from.

      source.workbench.host

      The host machine of the Workbench instance you are exporting from.

      source.workbench.port

      The port of the Workbench instance you are exporting from.

      destination.directory

      The directory of the Workbench instance you are migrating to.

      For example: 

      source.version = 11.1.0
source.workbench.host=myHost.myDomain.com
source.workbench.port=8006
destination.directory=C:/Endeca/ToolsAndFrameworks/11.2.0

    4. Save and close the file.

  2. Navigate to the ToolsAndFrameworks\11.1.0\admin\bin directory.

  3. Run the export_users script with the following parameters:

    For example: 

    > export_users.bat --config ..\conf\export_users.properties

    This step exports users that can be imported into the 11.2 Workbench.

  4. Confirm that the JSON file exists and contains the expected users.

    Note the following information as you review the results:

    Sample user : 

    {
    "id": "mmartin",
    "firstName": "melanie",
    "lastName": "martin",
    "email": "mmartin@example.com",
    "principalSource": "WORKBENCH",
    "admin": false,
    "permissions": [
        {
            "application": "Discover",
                "tools": [
                    "extension1"
                ],
        }
    ]
}

    Sample group: 

    {
    "id": "global",
    "groupName": "global merchandising",
    "email": "global@example.com",

    ]
}
