Tips for importing the system configuration

When importing a transport of the system configuration into a target database, you must follow the instructions described under General tips for transporting changes and consider the following special features:

  • Before performing the import, protect individual properties of the target database from being overwritten.

  • If you need custom schema extensions, such as database procedures, features, triggers, or views in the target database in addition to the system configuration, you should import these schema extensions before importing the system configuration.

  • After importing the system configuration, check the configuration settings in the target database.

    • Check the staging level of the target database.

    • Check at least the configuration settings for the DBQueue Processor. The settings are specified through the database staging level and configuration parameters.

    You can find detailed information about configuring a One Identity Manager database for test, development, or productive environments in the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

  • After importing the system configuration, release the locked properties for editing again.

  2. In the Change & Extend view, select the Transport custom modifications entry and click Start.

    This starts the Database Transporter program.

  3. Select Import transport file on the home page.

    Setting

    Description

    Create a log file for the data import

    Enable this option to create a log file for the import. The log file is saved in the output directory of the transport file.

    Import objects singly and ignore errors

    Enable this option to import options individually. Errors, which might occur during importing are ignored and displayed when importing is complete. If you do not enable this option, the import procedure is canceled when errors occur.

    Ignore default data differences

    Enable this option to ignore changes to default data during the import. If you do not enable this option, the import procedure is canceled if changes to default data are included.

  7. Import steps and import progress are displayed on the Importing transport data page. The import procedure can take some time. Calculation tasks are queued for the DBQueue Processor on termination.

    NOTE: During import, if the expected value does not match with the actual value in the database, the Merge conflict dialog opens. For each conflict, you must decide which value is committed to the database.

    • If you want to keep database value, enable Current database value.

    • If you want the value from the transport package to overwrite the database value, enable Transport value.

  8. If changes have been made to the system configuration, for example, processes, or scripts imported, you have to compile the database after the tasks have been processed. Compilation is started automatically once importing is complete.

  9. To end the program, click Finish on the last page.

    NOTE: Use the button to save any errors that occur whilst importing.
