Understanding Backing Up the Integration Gateway Properties File
The Integration Network features a Gateway Metadata page that enables you to backup the integration gateway properties file (integrationGateway.properties) defined on the local gateway to the database and then later restore the file. This feature is useful for upgrades, enabling you to back up the file before an upgrade, and then restore the file and the associated settings after the upgrade.
To back up the integration gateway properties file or restore a backed up copy of the file, you must enter the gateway user ID and password.
Using the Gateway Metadata Page
To access the Gateway Metadata page (IB_GATEWAYMETA), select
Image: Gateway Metadata page
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Gateway Metadata page before you perform a back up. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
The information that appears in the top portion of the page reflects the current local gateway ID and the gateway URL that is currently defined in the database. After you perform a backup, the Saved Gateway Properties section of the page displays the gateway URL that was backed up, the publishing node from which the back up was performed, and other data.
