Export or import the configuration of a dynamic Big Data platform distribution

Although the configuration of a dynamic Big Data platform distribution cannot be exported or imported along with the Jobs that use it, it can be exported or imported via the Dynamic distribution setup view in the Project settings dialog box.

As implied above, the procedure to be explained below is applicable only on a Big Data platform distribution added in such a way as described in the procedure of adding the latest Big Data platform dynamically.

Procedure

  1. In the Integration perspective, click File > Edit project properties to open the Project settings dialog box.
  2. Expand the General node and click Dynamic distribution settings to open its view.
  3. Click the Dynamic distribution setup button to open the dynamic distribution configuration wizard.

    Once selecting this radio button, the Version list becomes activated.

    Then select the distribution you want to export from this list and click Next to open the detail view of this distribution. In this view, click the Export configuration button to export the configuration as a JSON file.
