Migrate Form Spaces

   Journey Manager (JM) The transaction engine for the platform. |   System Manager / DevOps |  All versions This feature is related to all versions.

Manager provides a mechanism to migrate form spaces from one environment to another. This allows you to develop and test form spaces in different environments before deploying them into production. You can also use this process to back up your form spaces before major changes, such as a Manager software upgrade, so you will be able to restore them in case of any unforeseen errors.

Migrating a form space doesn’t migrate forms associated with it. It does, however, migrate the following resources:

• Pages
• Resources
• Properties

To migrate one or several form spaces, follow the process below:

1. Export form spaces.
2. Import form spaces to another Manager environment.

Manager allows you to migrate form spaces as ZIP or WAR archive files. The main difference between ZIP and WAR files is that a ZIP archive contains only the form’s pages related configuration, whilst a WAR archive contains the whole form space configuration. This is illustrated below.

A ZIP archive has:

osf/
pages/
portal-config.xml
resources/

A WAR archive has:

account-pending.htm            login.htm
border-dummy-content.htm       logout.htm
border-template.htm            META-INF/
card-cvv-info.htm              not-authorized.htm
card-payment.htm               not-supported.htm
click/                         off-line.htm
