You can export and then import approval rules from one environment to another.
Before you start
- Ensure you have the BPM Admin Role (BPMProcessAdmin) to be able to import or
export rules.
-
Ensure the source and target environments must be at the same patch level as
well as the same release version of the composites or the import process
will fail.
- Export SOA runtime changes, that is modified tasks and rules only.
-
Modify the exported file to include only specific composites for import in
case there are saved or uncommitted approval rule changes unwanted in the
target instance.
Here's what to do
-
Open SOA Composer in the source environment using the URL:
https://host:port/soa/composer.
-
Go to the Export/Import menu and click Export SOA
Changes.
Wait for the processing to complete. The process creates an archive
file.
-
When complete, click Download and save the archive onto
your local drive.
-
Use the appropriate application such to open the archive.
-
From the archive, extract the
CS_SOA_ExportList.txt
file and
then do these steps:
-
Edit to include only the composites you want to import.
-
Save, then drag and drop this file back to the archive.
-
Click Yes to confirm. The jar is ready for
import.
-
In SOA Composer in the target environment, go to the Export/Import menu and
click Import SOA Changes.
-
Click Choose File and select the modified archive to
import, then click Import.
-
When the import is complete, check the rule configurations in the Transaction
Manager: Rules page to verify if the migrated rule appears.
