How to migrate configurations from one server to another?

There are two ways you can migrate configurations from one server to another.

• Manually (by copying-pasting configuration files and folders on S3 bucket)
• Through APIs

To migrate configurations from one server to another through APIs:

• Go to your REST client (for example, Postman).
• Set the API request type to Get.
• Select the environment from which you want to migrate the environment configurations.
• Run the following API to download a .zip of environment configuration files to your local machine:

  /api/v1/configurationManagerService/downloadFiles

• (Optional) Unzip the environment configuration files, make any edits to the configuration files in text editor, and the create a .zip folder of the edited configuration files.
• On your Rest client, set the API rest type to Post.
• Select the environment to which you want to migrate the environment configurations.
• Select the tab Body > Select File to select the .zip folder of the configuration files on your local machine.
• Run the following API to upload the .zip of environment configuration folder to the new environment:

  /api/v1/configurationManagerService/uploadFiles

• Restart your services.

Note: When you remove a configuration file, let’s say ABC.xml, in the downloaded folder and then upload the configuration environment folder to same environment, ABC stays retained. This happens because any removed file/folder stays retained.

Note: To import S3 configurations along with export and import customization json file (database configurations), append the flag allConfigs to the API and set the value to true.
