After you define an environment, you can extract its service
data to create a service half map.
You can extract service information from the following
sources:
- Deployment data sets: Any deployment data set can contain service
data. If you attempt to extract service data from a set of objects,
but none of the objects contain service information, the service half
map remains empty. However, because it is not necessary to have entries
in the service data map to perform a successful deployment, you can
still proceed through the convert, analyze, and import steps. For
more information about the supported service types, see the 'Service
half map format' section in the Deployment configuration files help
topic.
- Service half map for the source FileNet® Deployment Manager environment: The service
half map data that is gathered from the source environment provides
a starting point for creating a service half map to use for the destination
environment. For more information, see Create a destination service
half map.
To extract service data to a service half map:
- In the FileNet Deployment Manager Tree
View pane, expand the Environments node and double-click an environment.
- On the Overview tab, click the Retrieve Data radio button
for Service Data.
- In the Update Service Half Map dialog
box, choose the service data source:
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| From the Deploy Dataset |
Select this data source when you want to map service data
from content objects for deployment of these objects (or similar objects)
to the destination environment. This data source option requires the
fully qualified path to a deployment data set. See Exporting assets to a deployment data set for instructions
on how to export to a data set from the Content Platform Engine.
In the Select
Deploy Dataset File field, enter the fully qualified path
of the deployment data set from which the service data is to be extracted.
|
| From an Environment's Service Half Map |
Select this data source if you have an existing FileNet Deployment Manager source environment for
which you extracted the service data for the service half map. Selecting
this data source causes the service half map to be copied from the
source environment for use as an initial half map for the destination
environment. For more information, see Create a destination service
half map.
In the Source Environment field,
select the source environment that contains the service data to use.
|
- For the chosen service data source, if you are updating
an existing service half map, select one of the following options:
| Option |
Description |
|---|
| Merge |
Adds new data such as types, names, servers, and URLs to the
service half map. Existing data is updated with any changes. This
option does not delete any data from the service half map. |
| Overwrite |
Replaces the contents of the service half map with the new
data. |
- Click Finish.
FileNet Deployment Manager processes the specified
file, extracts the service data, and creates a half map that contains
this data (HalfMap_Service.xml) in the DeploymentTreeRootFolder\Environments subfolder
for the specified environment.
