Summary This article explains an easy way to migrate configuration scopes from a file based Orbix 6 domain to a configuration repository based Orbix 6 domain, as an alternative to invoking multiple error-prone itadmin commands. Article Number 27783 Environment Orbix 6.3 All Supported Operating Systems Question/Problem Description How to migrate Orbix configuration from a file based domain to a CFR based domain? How to add configuration information contained in a configuration scope in a file based domain to a configuration repository based Orbix domain without having to run multiple itadmin commands? Clarifying Information Error Message Defect/Enhancement Number Cause Resolution Orbix provides a simple mechanism for converting a complete Orbix configuration scope from a file based domain to a TCL script which can be run with itadmin in order to update a CFR (Configuartion Repository). Assuming a file based domain created with itconfigure and called sample-domain exists, the configuration of this Orbix domain is available in a configuration file called sample-domain.cfg. This file can be easily edited with a text editor. Assuming the following scope contained in sample-domain.cfg needs to be migrated or added into a configuration repository example_scope { event_log:filters = ["IT_GIOP=*", " IT_ATLI2_IP=*"]; access_control { binding:server_binding_list = ["OTS+AccessControl", "AccessControl", "OTS", ""]; orb_plugins = ["local_log_stream", "iiop_profile", "giop", "iiop", "portable_interceptor"]; binding:client_binding_list = ["AccessControl+OTS+POA_Coloc", "AccessControl+POA_Coloc", "OTS+POA_Coloc", "POA_Coloc", "AccessControl+OTS+GIOP+IIOP", "AccessControl+GIOP+IIOP", "OTS+GIOP+IIOP", "GIOP+IIOP"]; local_log_stream:filename="server.log"; }; }; The above scope can be converted to a TCL script which can be easily run with the itadmin command in order to enter the data into the configuration repository. For this task Orbix provides the following TCL script: %IT_PRODUCT_DIR%\asp\6.3\bin\file_to_cfr.tcl In the file based domain (after sourcing the sample-domain_env script) run the above script as follows: itadmin file_to_cfr.tcl -output_to_file example_scope.tcl -scope example_scope The above command will create the TCL script example_scope.tcl. In the CFR based domain, after sourcing the according environment script, run the above script with itadmin as follows: itadmin example_scope.tcl The above will create the scope and the variables in the CFR. The contents of the scope can be then printed out with: itadmin scope show example_scope For further details on itadmin and managing the Orbix configuration please consult the following Orbix documentation: Orbix Administrator's Guide Workaround Notes Attachment Created date: 12 January 2012 Last Modified: 13 February 2013 Last Published: 12 May 2012 First Published date: 12 January 2012
