Copying or upgrading server configurations

After having created a new environment, you may want or need to copy the existing service definitions to your new server.

This is possible with either

  • Drag-and-Drop

  • The Copy Wizard

Note:
When copying between SOA Gateway servers at the different software levels, the copy operation will compensate for differences in the structure of the server configration etc., should this not be fully possible for some reason, error messages will indicate the reason(s).

The following scenarios are possible when copying configuration elements

Copy to a server at the same level No problems to be expected
Copy to a higher level server ("upgrade") New features may have been introduced, default values may be used for new elements.
Copy to a lower level server ("downgrade") Loss of a certain amount of control information possible due to elements not known by the down-level server
