Re: Integrator - Exporting business objects to another environment

Ron,

As you are aware R6 Integrator does not allow the exporting of individual 
business objects.  We have added that feature to the R7 version of 
Integrator.  Not that it will help with your current need.

The only way I know to deal with this problem is by using environments. We 
have a list of about 30 files that need to be saved and restored to a 
seperate library.  This library can be inserted into a new environments 
library list by coping and modifying the primary environments MMLIST 
record.  You would be running essentially the same environment with 
multiple Integrator partitions.  Each of these partions can be 
individually exported.

Using this approach you might have one environment (the primary one with 
no extra partion) as the collection point for all of you Integrator 
projects.  It is an Import point from all of your Partitions.  You could 
then have any number of "logical" environments to track seperate projects. 
 You would not want to include the same object in multiple partitions 
(just include it in its own partition).

As you see it can get complex.  We have used the technique for seperating 
students during our classes.  I don't know if anyone is using it in 
production.

environment


Using MAPICS Integrator I have created several business objects in one 
environment and now need to distribute these objects to other 
environments. According to MAPICS it's an all to nothing proposition, you 
have to export/import ALL business objects, you cannot pick and choose.

Has anyone figured out a way to export/import individual business objects?

Thank You
