Admin Configuration Tools

Passwords

Password fields are not exported and will not be checked on import. You will need to re-input all passwords.

Export Configuration

Through the User Interface on the left-hand menu under the ADMIN section select Configuration Tools.

Click on the Export button.

Select all the configuration you wish to export from the list.

Hit Export Configuration. This will trigger the download of a JSON file that contains all the selected configuration.

Import Configuration

Access the Configuration Tools menu from the Admin panel on the left-hand menu. Click on the Import button.

Click Choose File and select the exported JSON file from

Click Import.

Export Through A REST client (ARC/Postman) or a browser.

For a browser, hitting these endpoints will require you to enter your credentials.

For a REST Client, add an authorization header to your call and set it for basic authorization. Most rest clients allow you to simply add your username and password and base 64 encodes it for you. If it does not, the format for the header is

Name: authorization

Value: Basic username:password (base64 encoded)

If you want the entire configuration, send a rest call to

[simflofyUrl]/api/admin/exportconfig

If you want specific options, like the export config in the UI, simply append "?selected=(comma delimited list of choices)"

For example, if I wanted only Jobs and Authentication connectors the call would be

[simflofyUrl]/api/admin/exportconfig?selected=Jobs,AuthConns

The full list of possible arguments for the "selected" list is:

SearchConnections
ContentConnections
Views
Templates
Connections
AuthConns
Jobs
JobMappings
MappingGroups
JobGroups
JobSchedules
WidgetDefinitions
WidgetInstances
DiscoveryConnections
TaskGroups

RM Only

RetentionSchedules

If you wish to export a specific job with all of its associated connectors, hit the endpoint:

[simflofyUrl]/api/admin/exportconfig?jobId=[jobId]

Import Through A REST client (ARC/Postman)

Authorization remains the same. Set the method to POST and add a json object as the body of the request in the same format as received from the exports (or use the template provided in the tool's page).

The endpoint is:

[simflofyUrl]/api/admin/importconfig

tip

Use an export of your configuration as a template for future imports.
