How to create a rule to migrate ESB items

About this task

In Talend Repository Manager, the Rules page helps you to select an ESB item (an execution task in the ESB conductor that can start Services, Routes and data service Jobs) and migrate it from one administration center to another.

After migrating an ESB item to the target repository, you can execute it directly.

You can migrate ESB items between repositories only if their version is 5.4.1+.

Procedure

  1. In the Menu tree view, click Rules.
  2. On the Rules toolbar, click Add > ESB item.
    The configuration panel to the right of the rule list is activated.

    Example

  3. In the configuration panel, fill in the following information.
    For the global parameters:

    Label

    Enter a name for the rule to be created.

    Description

    Enter a description of the rule you want to create.

    Active

    Clear the check box to disable the execution of the rule. By default the check box is selected, meaning that the rule execution is enabled.

    For the source repository parameters:

    Source

    Select the source repository where the ESB item is migrated from.

    From this list you have access only to the repositories that are defined as Source only or as Source & Target when created in Talend Repository Manager. For more information about how to define a repository connection, see Managing the repository connection list.

    Filter

    Set a filter to decide what ESB item you want to migrate. Click the icon next to the field to open the Filter Configuration window.

    For more information on how to configure the filters, see Configuring filters in rules.

    For the parameters relative to the target repository or the destination directory:

    Target repository

    Select the target repository where you want to migrate the ESB item.

    From this list you have access only to the repositories that are defined as Target only or as Source & Target when created in Talend Repository Manager. For more information about how to define a repository connection, see Managing the repository connection list.

    Target Execution server

    Select the target execution server to run the migrated ESB item.

    Leave this field empty if the target execution server has the same name as the source.

    Note that the fields in the configuration panel may change depending on which version of Talend Administration Center you are using. For more information on supported versions, see Installation requirements.
  4. Save the migration rule.
    The rule is ready now to be executed. For information about executing migration rules, see How to execute a rule from the toolbar.
