KBEC-00475 - Change Project When Exporting and Importing Objects

Summary

You need to change an object’s project when exporting and importing it across different servers.

Solution

Here’s an example that involves exporting an importing a procedure:

1. In order to export the DSL from one project you can do it with:

cd /CloudBeesCDInstallPath/bin
./ectool login admin
./ectool generateDsl --path /projects/yourProject/procedures/yourProcedure > procedure.dsl

2. After generating the procedure.dsl file, you can change the original project with the new one by changing the literal projectName = 'OriginalProject' to projectName = 'DestinationProject'. For example:

sed -i "s/projectName = 'OriginalProject'/projectName = 'DestinationProject'/g" procedure.dsl

3. Once changed, you should copy this file to the new cluster and import the DSL by executing:

cd /CloudBeesCDInstallPath/bin
./ectool login admin
./ectool evalDsl --dslFile procedure.dsl

Notes

• Please be aware that this will only create the procedure in the destination project, but not any referenced sub-procedures, resources, or other references.
