FlexDeploy Clone Configurations

These steps can be useful if you are installing a new FlexDeploy environment, and want to load it with specific configurations from a different environment with the same FlexDeploy version.

These steps are provided as guidelines and extreme care must be taken to not disrupt your production environments.

This process should only be followed to perform configuration setup for brand new installation of FlexDeploy from another installation of FlexDeploy. Purpose of this document is to only copy configuration details and not execution data. If you run this against active Production FlexDeploy, you will lose all execution details.

This process is only applied for 4.0, 4.0.x version of FlexDeploy. Also, source and target version of FlexDeploy must be the same.

  • Stop source FlexDeploy server in order to take cold backup.
  • Export data from source FlexDeploy database. You will be prompted to enter password for system user.
    • This step will create fd_bkup.dmp file with all details from FD,FF and FD_ADMIN schemas. File should be in data pump directory, for example - C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\admin\XE\dpdump.
Export data from source FlexDeploy database
expdp system directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=fd_bkup.dmp schemas=FD,FF,FD_ADMIN
  • Copy fd_bkup.dmp file to the target FlexDeploy database server in the data pump directory. (e.g. C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\admin\XE\dpdump)
  • Import data into target FlexDeploy database. You will be prompted to enter password for system user.
    • Make sure there are no errors in import process. If there are errors, make corrections appropriately and restart import process.
Import data in to target FlexDeploy database
impdp system directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=fd_bkup.dmp schemas=FD,FF,FD_ADMIN
  • At this point the target FlexDeploy database should be an exact copy of the source database. Often times you will not need or want any of the execution details, so let's delete execution data using following commands. Make sure to run these commands on target FlexDeploy database.

  • We will not copy any Artifact Repository in this process, as we are purging the execution data.
  • FlexDeploy can now be installed in target environment as per FlexDeploy Installation Guide, but skip database tier as it was already copied from a different environment.
  • At the end of installation process, start FlexDeploy and validate that your configurations are present in various screens.
  • As necessary upgrade details like Security realm, group, user configurations, Email server settings etc.
  • Cleanse any configuration you do not want in the target (e.g. inactivating production endpoints).
