To transport new or modified One Identity Manager files
-
In the Database Transporter, on the Define transport data page, select the Transport system files export criteria.
-
Click Select and select the files to transport.
-
(Optional) Select a patch for the file. Use the Patch load button to load this file and incorporate it in the transport.

Transporting the system configuration
The following methods are provided for transporting the system configuration:
-
Transport the system configuration: Use this procedure method for the initial transfer of test database modifications into an operational database.
-
Transport the system configuration as delta transport: Use this procedure to determine and transport changes to the system configuration between two databases.
-
To transport individual configuration data to an existing productive database, you can also use transports based on change labels, change information, or selected objects.
To transport custom database procedures, features, triggers, or views completely from a test database to a productive database in addition to the system configuration:
-
Create a transport of schema extensions in the test database and import these into the production database.
-
Create a transport of the system configuration in the test database and import these into the production database.
Importing a transport of the system configuration overwrites the configuration data of the target database. This also applies to the configuration parameter settings. Before importing a transport package, you can protect individual properties from being overwritten. After importing the system configuration into a target database, you should check and, if necessary, modify the configuration settings.

Exporting the entire system configuration
Use the Transport the system configuration transport method for the initial transfer of test database modifications into an operational database.
To create a system configuration transport
-
In the Database Transporter, on the Define transport data page, select the Transport by change information export criteria.
-
On the Determining transport data page, the configuration data is determined. The process may take some time.
At the end, the program displays the transport data that contains references to objects that are not going to be transported. These objects must exist in the target system database for importing. You can delete this data from the transport.

Exporting system configurations as delta transports
Use the Transport the system configuration as delta transport transport method to find changes made to the system configuration and transport them. By using this method, the data is imported faster than if the system configuration is transported in its entirety.
You have several options to available.
-
Export the configuration data from the source database: Determines all the configuration data of the connected database and writes it to a CustomData.xml configuration file.
Structure of the CustomData.xml file:
XObjectKey Column Value
XObjectKey Column Value
....
-
Create a delta transport file from a configuration file and the database: Determines all the differences between an existing configuration file and the connected database. The comparison finds new, changed, and deleted contents. These changes are written to the new CustomDelta.xml configuration file as insert, update and delete operations.
Structure of the CustomData.xml file:
Operation (I,U,D) XObjectKey Column Value
Operation (I,U,D) XObjectKey Column Value
...
To export configuration data from the source database
-
In the Database Transporter, on the Define transport data page, select the Transport the system configuration as delta transport export criteria.
-
Select the Export the configuration data from the source database option.
-
On the Determining transport data page, the configuration data is determined. The process may take some time.
At the end, the program displays the transport data that contains references to objects that are not going to be transported. These objects must exist in the target system database for importing. You can delete this data from the transport.

The Determining transport data page, shows the configuration file's data being determined. The process may take some time.
At the end, the program displays the transport data that contains references to objects that are not going to be transported. These objects must exist in the target system database for importing. You can delete this data from the transport.
-
The Calculate data differences page compares the transport data of the configuration file with the configuration data of the connected database. The difference is calculated and displayed.
