Importing CDT to your current environment

Users with the Developer role can import CDT files from any environment to your current environment by using Self Service.

About this task

When you import CDT, if all the running servers are restarted successfully, the CDT import status is successful. However, if any of the servers fail to restart, the CDT import status is successful, but with a warning, which is displayed by a warning icon. You can view the details in the logs to view the list of failed servers.

Note: Configuration data cannot be imported if the source version is higher than the target runtime version (even for the minor version difference). Configuration data can be imported only if the source and target versions are same and the source version is less than the target runtime version.

Procedure

Access Self Service with your IBMid.
From the Self Service menu, click Environments.
From the list of environments, select an environment.
In the Configuration tab, click Import CDT.
Select the .zip file from the Select CDT to import list.
Enter the snippet in the CDT preferences XML field, and then click Import.

Note:
You must use SourceDatabase as DEFAULTXMLDB and TargetDatabase as SYSTEMDB.

When you specify these keywords, you do not have to provide the definition or details for the Source and Target databases in the CDT preferences XML file.
