Good Afternoon,
I have a question about how to best replicate an entire Syncope
configuration (to include schemas) on one server to another Linux server with
minimal involvement. With that, I did read in the Syncope 2.1.5 reference
guide in section 4.6.8 (Deal with internal storage export - import) about
making use of a curl command to export the MasterContent.xml file and replacing
(importing) the file in a particular directory on the destination server. Other
than actually creating an instance of Syncope on the destination server, would
the placement of the MasterContent.xml file (as mentioned above) indeed be all
one has to do in order to stand-up another Syncope instance with the same
configuration on another server? If not, would you please identify what would
have to be done in order to replicate an entire Syncope configuration on
another server? If additional actions are necessary, would you please also
include any relevant APIs or other commands?
Hi,
exporting the MasterContent.xml file from one instance and placing it into
another instance's conf directory (say /opt/syncope/conf/domains by default) is
exactly what is needed to replicate configurations from one environment to
another; beware that such two Syncope instances must be exactly equal
(including connector bundle versions), best if built from same sources.
Also, please don't forget that, in any case, MasterContent.xml is bootstrapped
into the internal storage only if the latter is empty, e.g. was not already
inited by Syncope.
In case you don't want to erase the target Syncope instance's storage, there is
no alternative than exporting the needed configurations via REST from source
and importing via REST into the destination (you can use Swagger UI for that if
it comes handy).
HTH
Regards.
