  • 1.  Export configuration as cfg

    Posted Wed October 20, 2021 11:54 AM
    How to export individual objects are cfg config export. In CP4I it is expected to pass configuration as config maps and it takes .cfg content as input. Currently, in DataPower I see only export can be taken at the domain level, if we want to take config at an individual object is there any tool available?

    Thanks

    Hi Ivan, 

    Thanks for the link really helps. Another follow-up query, this holds good for initial migration, during everyday operations, what is the suggested practice to migrate configuration from lower to higher environments. 

    Considering multiple development streams might run in parallel with each having its own release cycle, how can we control the config migration, if we take domain backup every time.

    All the DP configuration is done via ConfigMaps(CM).  The CM from "dev" can be promoted to "test" and then on to higher environments.

    But the config map contains the entire domain configuration. Is there any we can create configuration per service object?

    Assuming if a domain contains 2 MPG services in development, Service 1 tagged for release 1 and service 2 tagged for release 2. In this case, if I take domain export I will have the changes pertaining to release 2 as well. How can we avoid this conflict?
