The purpose of this tool is to migrate custom environment profiles from a triplet to another triplet.

This is particularly useful during migration of a triplet to a different CAST version, as Server Manager deletes custom environment profiles  during the process.

The tool is made of :

• an export batch (export.bat)
• an import batch (import.bat)
• a synchronization Groovy script (SynchronizeEnvironmentProfiles.cgroovy), called by the import batch

In the case of a migration, the user should :

1. Export the custom environment profiles from the triplet to an AEX file, using export.bat
2. Migrate the triplet using Server Manager
3. Import the custom environment profiles from the AEX file to the newly migrated triplet, using import.bat

This tool is provided by Maintenance Team, and published as an extension com.castsoftware.labs.tools.environmentprofilemigrator

Prerequisites

 Follow the below prerequisites before running the tool:

Configuration

The export and import batch file script must be configured with the following variables : FLATDIR, LOGDIR, AEXDIR, HOSTNAME, PORT, KBNAME, CONNECTION_PROFILE

set "FLATDIR=<CAST AIP Installation PATH>"
set "LOGDIR=<Path to the log file>"
set "AEXDIR=<Path to the aex file>"
set HOSTNAME=<Database Server Name>
set PORT=<Database Port Number>
set KBNAME=<Analysis Service Name>
set "CONNECTION_PROFILE=<Connection Profile>"

FLATDIR must be set to the CAST Installation path
LOGDIR must be set to the folder where the log file should be generated
AEXDIR must be set to the folder where the AEX file containing the exported custom environment profiles should be generated
HOSTNAME, PORT, and KBNAME are the connection data to the Analysis Service Database containing the custom environment profiles
CONNECTION_PROFILE is the connection profile to the target Management Service Database (import.bat only)

NB : Of course, AEXDIR has to be the same in both batch files, else they will not refer to the same AEX file.
