Migrate Profiles Between Environments

Export Profiles

To export profiles:

1. Launch the EJM Monitoring Tool.
   
2. Go to Activities tab.
   
3. Select profiles for migration (multiple selection is allowed).
   
4. Right click the group to call the context menu and select Export Profile(s).
   
5. Profile data will be then downloaded and Export Dialog will be displayed.
   
6. In this step, you can uncheck unnecessary profiles to exclude them from the export. File preview is available in the right pane.
   
7. Click Next. 
   You will see the final dialog box, enter the name for your MC package, provide an informative description, and select an export store folder for the package.
   
   The export will have similar contents as follows:
   
   
   • tpe folder – contains all data.
   • export.conf - Migration Wizard metadata – this file is used by IWS for importing (can be missing). Note: This file must be deleted before you copy the folder to TFS. 
   • eagle_iws_service_data_empty package – "fake" stream package used for importing by MCE data files without streams.
   • _*main.pkg package – main package, contains links to all data files and packages. This is the file you use to import exported data later. 

Commit to TFS

Assuming you are storing in source control (in this case, TFS), follow these steps:

1. Before committing to TFS, rename one of the .pkg files to avoid conflict of names.
    
2. Rename eagle_iws_service_data_empty.pkg to my_test_stream_package.pkg (for example).
3. Open the *main.pkg file find the line with the old file name:
   <include>  <package>eagle_iws_service_data_empty</package></include>
4. Enter the new name:
   <include>  <package>my_test_stream_package</package></include> 
5. Delete the export.conf file. 
6. As a result, your export folder should look like this:
    
7. Commit these 3 items to TFS.

Import Profiles with Message Center Editor

To import profiles with Message Center Editor:

1. Open Message Center Editor, go to Message Center Streams tab and launch the import stream wizard.
    
2. Navigate to the folder and select the main package file.
    
   
   
3. Preview the content of the package you are about to import. You can choose to exclude some files on this stage - to do that, uncheck the box next to their names.
    
4. If you are prompted with information about eagle_iws_service_data_empty already existing, just click Yes to overwrite it. This stream is always used to import sources without streams links.
   You will also see csv-0.rsf file marked as missing in the list. It refers to eagle_iws_service_data_empty fake stream, so just ignore this message.
5. Click Next.
    
6. Click Next and choose Create stream(s) option. Click Next.
    
7. Click Finish.
   The process of import will start shortly.
    
8. To check your newly added profie(s) go to the Monitoring Tool - Activities tab.
