Let's go through this process step by step. First log in to application using your login and password.
Then from main view go to Parameter screen:
Here you may select all parameters available in your view (by checking checkbox 1) or select only few parameters by checking only selected checkboxes in column with number 2.
When at least one parameter is selected, then button (3) on the right site of toolbar will be active. If any parameter is selected, the button "Selected (0)" act as a counter of selected parameters. X symbol next to it (on the right) allows to uncheck all selected elements:
To export selected parameters click on the button (3) and from dropdown list select Mass export to XLSx.
First zip file will be generated:
Then download will be available:
In mentioned zip file user will find XLSx file for every checked parameter.
First log in to application using you login and password.
Then from main view go to Parameter screen:
Then parametr list will be shown where all parameter available in your current view are visible.
Click on the name of parameter, which you wish to export. That action will cause opening parameter information screen:
Here you may not only, implement any changes but also export parameter as XLSx file, by making an action from dropdown list (1) on the right and click Export do XLSx.
Window with information about creating XLSx file will appear:
And when XLSx file will be created - download will be available:
As said in user guide you may export any part of configuration including parameters by using batch export. Here we are gonna focus on how to create a batch export of any number of parameters as needed from every region and version that should be considered.
First log in to application.
Then go trough toolbar to batch export screen:
Here you will create your batch (also called a superpack) by using any steps of export you need. On the screen below you will see two sections. Section with number 1 is list of available steps to create batch and section 2 is list of selected steps and configuration set for those steps.
From the beginning, let's export batch with parameters from current view only.
Add Step LoadParams from list (2)
Now in section 2 settings for that step should be visible:
In the bottom part there are filters which may be applied in basic version which allows to filter all available parameters by part or full name.
You may apply full filter:
That functionality allows you to select only those parameters filtered by name , level code, Tag, assigned Region or even last "modified by". Whats more while creating superpack you may narrow your export to only those changes - published in defied period of time.
For filters: Levels, Tags, Region and Modified by to apply filters on your export, click + and to remove filter click sign X next to filter name.
When all your demand are applied on LoadParams step you may Create pack
Step MultiLoadParams should be used when you need to move parameters from one region and version to another. For example from R1/V1 to R1/V2, or R1/V1 to R2/V1 etc. (where R stands for a Region and V- Version)
Under every question mark you will find guidelines: how to fill every field.
First you need to provide information about environment you are going to import your snapshot:
All you need to do here is give region name (field 1), which must exist on your target environment, files and versions will be filled automatically.
Then in field (with number 2) select Region existing on your current environment - Hyperon app, within your Profile. Next step is: adding versions from which parameters will be exported. This step allows to export as many versions as you wish, the only limit is that, those region versions must be exported to one region (but may be exported to different versions).
In the example export is made from region TRM (1) to region TRM (2) on the target environment and:
Versions were filled automatically with version numbers selected as Version to.
The Region from with export is made does not have to have the same name as import Region. But import Region must exist on the environment to which you are importing.
If you need to use filters please read instructions in paragraph LoadParams.
Add all listed steps to your batch before loading parameters steps (to change order use drag&drop mechanism on steps list on the left part of your screen):
SetOnSystemErrorOnPack and SetOnBusinessErrorOnPack
In many steps while creating pack you will need to set OnSystemError and OnBusinessError, for your convenience we advice to add those two steps. Settings in those steps are global for created Batch and thanks to them you won't have to set those again and again in every step of export.
By default both are false.
Business Error may appear, for example, when in batch is requirement to import parameters to version which does not exist on target environment.
System Error appears when user finds corner case causing application error. If such appears please contact us :)
CreateProfile - Creates new profile in target environment. You need to give code for new Profile.
CreateRegion - Allows to create new region with one basic version.
CreateVersion - Creates new version on base of existing one (you need to point from which version the new one should be created)
SetProfile - Sets profile before starting following steps.
SetVersion - Sets version as My View before going further with import.
Set those steps in given order and make sure those are before loading parameters - LoadParams - step (to change order use drag&drop mechanism on steps list on the left part of your screen).
All necessary steps for batch export/import when database is empty (MultiLoadParams may be replaced with LoadParams):
Creating Superpack / Batch is as much plan for export as plan of import. Configuration of every step is as important as arrangement of those steps. Order of steps in superpack allows to prepare target environment even if in the beginning database was empty. Superpack steps should be set in order of import.
Snapshot export screen by default is set to export whole configuration on current profile. That may be changed by user, by unchecking checkboxes next to selected elements of configuration. Below is an example of export for profile GROUP, where exported are only parameters from profile GROUP and all global parameters (which are not assigned to any region)
In section 1 you can see from which profiles export will be made, if there will be no profiles, then only global parameters (not assigned to any region) will be exported.
To add region, from list on the left choose region (by clicking on its name) and then click right turned arrow. If you want to remove profile from list "to export" click its name ale then left arrow. Section with number 2 is parameter export settings, here you may apply filters (remember that here filters work by the rule "starts with", which basically means that if you type "code" and add it as filter, only parameters with name starting with word "code" will be exported). Every filter must be added to snapshot configuration by clicking symbol + (3).
Full information about snapshot export you will find here : user guide.
If you want to import zip file including XLSx files (one or more) go to Parameterization/Parameters and select Import from XLSx
And in popup window select your zip file or single XLSx file.
If you want to import single XLSx file for selected parameter you may also do it from the level of detail information about parameter:
And then in popup window select your XLSx file.
If you want to import batch/superpack go to Tools/Batch import and select your file.
Go to Tools/Snapshot import :
Before selecting your file, you may decide, if you want to autocommit changes (if all went without problems) and if you want to consider all set while export mechanisms (remove not in file and set filters) - these informations are included in json file.
If any problem occurred while import autocommit can't be done and you will have to go through report, if import goes right report window will be empty or all status will be Imported files and Skipped. If no Errors and Warnings were detected autocommit will proceed when report is closed.
All above cases may be done by REST endpoints. It will be described below.
Allows to download the exported package based on the provided template
