Management Center Data Migration

This function depends on the resource migration function of Management Center.

The resources that can be migrated include data services, metadata categories, metadata tags, metadata collection tasks, and the data connections created in Management Center.

Constraints

  • Resource import and export depend on the OBS service.
  • Collection tasks with the same name cannot be migrated repeatedly.
  • Categories and tags with the same name cannot be migrated repeatedly.
  • Only an exported .zip file can be imported. During the import, the system verifies the resources in the file.
  • For security concerns, passwords of connections are not exported when the connections are exported. You need to enter the passwords when importing the connections.

Exporting Resources from the Old Workspace

Log in to the console, access the Management Center module of the old workspace, and perform the following operations to export resources:

  1. In the navigation pane, choose Migrate Resources.

  2. Click Create Export Task to configure the file name and the OBS path for saving the file.

  3. Click Next and select the resource to export.

  4. Click Next and wait until the export is complete. The resource package is exported to the OBS path set in 2.

    If no result is displayed in 1 minute, the export fails. Try again. If the fault persists, contact customer service or technical support.

Importing Resources to Another Workspace

Log in to the console, access the Management Center module of the new workspace, and perform the following operations to import resources:

  1. In the navigation pane, choose Migrate Resources.
    Figure 5 Migrating Resources
  2. Click Create Import Task and configure the path for saving the resources to import. Only an exported .zip file can be imported.

  1. Click Next and select the resource to import.

  1. If you select DataSource, click Next to configure a data connection. The number of data connections required is determined by the number of data sources. Each data connection requires a password.

  2. Click Next and wait until the import is complete.

    If no result is displayed in 1 minute, the import fails. Try again. If the failure persists, contact the customer service or technical support.

Verifying the Migration

After resources are imported to the new workspace, you can check whether the following imported resources are the same as those in the old workspace:

  • Data connections in Management Center
  • Metadata collection tasks, metadata classifications, and metadata tags in DataArts Catalog
  • APIs published in DataArts DataService
