Transport and Change Management

[Former Member]

Hello,

We need to modify our MDM structure (add fields and tables). We would like to avoid unloading the repository. Can we do that in our test environment and move to Production only the structure while keeping the data in Prod.

What is the Transport and Change Management patch? Is this what we need?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

This is not possible, as there is no support for Transport and Change management. You will always need some down-time in production. But there are some strategies to reduce the down-time.

(1) You could use the Java ADMIN API to create a batch-script that performs the required repository modifications. Once you validate it works, unload your repository, run your program and load the repository again.

(2) Create a "slave" repository and re-direct your production users to that repository. Unload your production repository and make all changes. Once done, reload that repository and switch back. Remember that this will only help to keep a "look-up" only version of the production repository...
