Christopher- Please take a few minutes and post both of these ideas to the Ideation site linked to from https://communities.ca.com/web/ca-ehealth-and-ca-spectrum-global-user-community/welcome. Then other community members can upvote these ideas and (hopefully) CA will pay more attention to those with larger numbers of votes. I would definitely vote for both of these.
Thank you, Jim On 2/28/12 10:08 AM, "Cashell, Christopher P." <[email protected]> wrote: We just went through this exact scenario, and I opened a case with support to figure out how to accomplish it. What we were told is that we were basically screwed, and there was no way to do it. The config history is not an exportable object for the modeling gateway, and according to support, one of the main reasons they don't support exporting it due to "security concerns". I did open a feature request to get this added, but I'm not holding my breath. The best work-around we were able to come up with is to export the devices and model them on the new landscape, but don't delete the old ones. Instead, put them in maintenance with a Note specifying that they'd been migrated. Then, after the new model has been in place for a couple of months and built up some configuration history, we're going to go back and remove the old models. We also enabled the config dump to the filesystem for each of our Spectrum servers (Explorer->Configuration Manager->Information->Export Configuration). We set that up to dump every unique configuration to $SPECHOME/config/ at each change, so we could maintain our own long term config history. (Note, this would also be mitigated to a large extent if Spectrum had a concept of "retired" devices, so you could minimize resources used on a device, while still retaining historical information on it such as config history. I opened an enhancement request on that, too, but don't expect it anytime soon.) -- Christopher Cashell -----Original Message----- From: javi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 4:21 AM To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] configs history export Hallo list We want to split the spectrum db, because we have too many objects and the application is becoming overloaded. The server has still enough resources. I've configured the gateway tool to export some containers and to import them in another server, that will have another landscape id. The only problems is that the gateway exports no config at all. We want to export the whole config history each device but we don't know how. I would appreciate any idea.
