Chapter 6. Administering partner migration The configuration migration utility enables you to selectively export and import WebSphere Partner Gateway configuration data. This differs from other data-moving options like database backup and restore because data is selectively extracted when it is exported with the utility and a database backup is not normally selective. The configuration migration utility enables you to import configuration without overwriting configuration that is already present on a system, while database restoration from a backup typically overwrites existing data. The configuration migration utility exports selected partner and system definitions into an XML file and a set of supporting files. You can subsequently import these files into another system, moving the configuration across systems. Note: When transferring data from one system to another, both systems must use the same version of WebSphere Partner Gateway. The migration utility is used primarily to move configuration data from a development and testing system to a production system, but you can also load configuration data from an XML file that you create based on the XML schema provided. There are two options available for running the migration utility: 1. A command line interface is provided so the migration utility can be started using a script. 2. An API is provided so user-written Java programs can invoke the migration utility. See the WebSphere Partner Gateway Programming Guide for more information about using the API. The migration utility is implemented as a standalone Java application that calls WebSphere Partner Gateway remotely. The utility is packaged in a .zip file named BCGMigrationUtil.zip. This file is installed by the hub installer in this directory: hub installation/console/support. Using the migration utility from the command line About this task Before you can use the migration utility, you must extract the BCGMigrationUtil.zip file on the workstation where you will run the utility. After the utility files are extracted to your local file system, perform the following prerequisite steps: 1. The console component for the WebSphere Partner Gateway system that you will export from or import into must be running. Note that the utility can be run on a different workstation than where the console component is installed. This is because the utility accesses the console using the IIOP (EJB) protocol over a network. Connectivity between the workstations is required, and the IIOP port (typically 58809) of the console has to be available from the workstation where the utility runs. 2. You must have Java 5 available on the workstation where the utility will run. In your machine install JDK1.5. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2007, 2008 61
