Export deployment environment definitions using the administrative console

Exporting deployment environment definitions helps you speed the implementation of deployment environments by minimizing the configuration on each dmgr. You can use the exported deployment environment on other dmgrs as a template for the deployment environment. You can also replicate the same deployment environment configuration on a large scale.

When security and role-based authorization are enabled, you must log in to the administrative console as an administrator or configurator to perform this task.

If you are implementing a number of deployment environments based on the same designs, you can export the deployment environment definitions to use as templates for deployment environments on other dmgrs.


Procedure

  1. On the Deployment Environments page, select the check boxes next to the deployment environment definitions to export.

  2. Click Export. The system response depends on whether you select:
    Number of deployment environments to export Action
    One At the prompt, enter the name of the exported file. The default name is deployment_environment_name.xml. To change the default name, specify the full file path.
    Multiple At the prompt, enter the output directory in which to place the exported compressed file that contains the deployment environment definitions. By default, the system names the compressed file first_env_name.zip. To change the default name, specify the full file path.

    You cannot directly import a compressed file, you must extract the deployment environment definitions to the target file system.

  3. Verify that the system created the files.


What to do next

You can import the exported files to other dmgrs.
