Update integration directory and repository content after PI system copy

[Former Member]

We are on PI 7.1, We are trying to figure out the best way to update the contents in sld, integration directory and repository after system copy. currently we delete everything in sld, ID and IR then reimport all the content to get everything in-sync. Is there an easier way to do it, ex. just update the system in sld and the matching contents in IB and IR?

Thanks,

Hi Jane

This completely depends on the nature of the system copy and your SLD architecture and operational requirements

Will the source system remain available or operational ?

Is the target SLD proposing to use satellite systems already defined in the source SLD ?

When doing a system copy the following should be considered

1) If you create an import line from a previous SLD via export or sync

- that SLD has to continue to be available for further updates or sync

2) If you create a system copy, any target specific configuration like hostname, port, SID

may needed to be adapted in target landscape

3) Further considerations are needed if 1 satellite will point to 2 SLDs at the same time both for operational use

Its very easy to take a back-up or full or partial import from one SLD and put it into another or indeed sync between SLDs

however the key is to ensure the target SLD content is consistent and useable in the same way as the source SLD

Hope this helps

Hi Staurt, Thanks for the reply.

In our case, the source system will remain available and operational. The systems in target system do not exist in source SLD (PI system itself, integartion engine, technical systems, business systems, etc.). The question is how to do minimum work after system copy to get the PI content in target system, which coming from source system, linking to the servers in source system environment, to be consistent with the new servers in target environment (PI system, technical and business systems) in SLD and usable in the same way.

You mean "in-sync" between your new PI 7.1 system and an old system which has been changed in parallel ? Otherwise I do not understand why you delete all IR and ID objects after the system copy.

By in-sync, I mean what to do to get the content in PI to be consistent with the new and different systems in SLD in target system after system copy. for example, the business system host name, logical system, database host names are all different between source system and target system. what do we have to do to get the PI content to link with those new systems in target environemnt? My understanding is that you can't simply rename them in target SLD.

Thanks,

Jane
