Export/Import classification categories/values in PI 7.11 Service Registry

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are currently using SAP PI 7.11 EhP3. I have created a number of custom classification entries in our PI Development environment's Service Registry, for use in classifying services within the Registry. I need to apply the same categories and values into the Service Registry of our Quality and Production environments. Is there any export/import capability enabling that capability in this version?

Thanks,

Yes,

Importing/Exporting capability is very much there to transfer clasffication from dev to QA and prod SR.

Hello Gourav,

Thank you for this information; it is very helpful.

However - the export appears to only include the entries in the namespace http://uddi.sap.com/classification. Since that is a protected namespace I am not able to create my custom classification values there. (I'm also going to assume that this namespace gets overwritten during system upgrades, so I would not want my custom values in it anyway.) Subsequently my custom values are in a separate namespace that does not seem to be included in the export process.

Is there a way to configure this export utility so that it retrieves the data from my namespace, rather than (or in addition to) the standard SAP namespace?

Thanks again,

On further review, I see that the export does include my custom classifications, just not in an obvious way like the standard SAP entries. Custom entries are named with a GUID, while the SAP entries are named more meaningfully.

Thanks for your help!
