How to migrate Guvnor Knowledge Base packages to another Guvnor?

byungwoojun Jan 18, 2012 9:45 PM

I created Knowledge Base packages (added BPMN2 resources) in my local Guvnor. After completion of my unit testing, I want to move the knowledge base packages to another Guvnor, so I don't have to recreate the same packages from the scratch.

I know I can use a Eclipse project, importing all the resources from Guvnor and then adding the resources to another Guvnor. But, I am looking for a more direct way, for example, export the packages from Guvnor and import the packages into another Guvnor directly. Maybe I can create package snapshots and use the Administration Import/Export??? So, here is my question, how do I export the resource packages to another Guvnor?

Many thanks in advance,

bwj

Yes, you can use the Guvnor built-in import/export functionality however it is often not the best option by far. Take a look at this blog I wrote (and watch the video linked in it!) to get some ideas about using the drools-ant task for jackrabbit migration that is much more powerful: http://surdilovic.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/using-drools-ant-to-migrateback-up-existing-jackrabbit-repositories/.

Hope this helps.

The Guvnor export / import administration function exports the entire knowledge base packages. Is there a way to export and import a particular package to another Guvnor?

Thanks,

Sorry but there isn't. Even tho this has been asked many many times in the past Guvnor still does not have this functionality
You would have to do a full export and then delete packages you no longer need on the other end.
