Oracle SOA 11.1.1.5 Transferring Metadata using WLST

Transferring Metadata using WLST

To use WLST to transfer metadata:

1. Export the metadata from the original partition using the exportMetadata command:
   

   exportMetadata(application='sampleApp', server='server1',
          toLocation='/tmp/myrepos/mypartition', docs='/**')
   

   This command exports a versioned stripe of the metadata documents from the metadata partition to a file system directory. Only customization classes declared in the cust-config element of adf-config.xml are exported. If there is no cust-config element declared in adf-config.xml, all customization classes are exported.
   To export all customizations, use the option restrictCustTo="%".
   
2. If the production application is on a different system, copy the exported metadata to that system.
   
3. Import the metadata to the other partition using the WLST importMetadata command:
   

   importMetadata(application='sampleApp', server='server1',
          fromLocation='/tmp/myrepos/mypartiton', docs='/**')
   

   The value of the fromLocation parameter must be on the same system that is running WLST or on a mapped network drive or directory mount. You cannot use direct network references such as \\mymachine\repositories\.
   Only customization classes declared in the cust-config element of adf-config.xml are imported. If there is no cust-config element declared in adf-config.xml, all customization classes are imported.
   To import all customizations, use the option restrictCustTo="%".
