Copying a business transaction definition between integration nodes
You can create a business transaction definition (BTD) on one integration node and then import it into a different integration node. This is a required step if you create a business transaction definition on a test system before copying it to your production system.
Before you begin
- Ensure that you have integration servers with the same name on your production system and on your test system.
- On your production system, deploy the BAR file that you deployed on your test system.
- Install a REST client on your browser. REST clients are available for various browsers, and the instructions provided in this topic show how to use the Firefox RESTClient, which you can download and install from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/restclient.
About this task
You can use a REST client on your browser to copy a BTD from one integration node to another, allowing you to create a BTD on a test system and then copy it to a production system. Alternatively, you can write a program using a language such as Java™ or Perl that uses REST to copy the BTD for you. The following instructions describe how to copy the BTD by using the Firefox RESTClient:
Procedure
You can now use this output to post a request to your production system, so that the same business transaction definition is created there.
