Backing up and restoring configuration objects in the App Connect Dashboard in Red Hat OpenShift

Use this information to back up and restore the configuration objects in your App Connect Dashboard instance. You might find this useful if you want to copy your configuration objects from one namespace or cluster to another, or for disaster recovery. A script is supplied for backing up the configuration objects.

Procedure

To back up and restore your configuration objects, complete the following steps:

  1. Back up your configuration objects as follows:
    1. Download the attached backup-and-restore-configs.zip file.

      The ZIP file contains a README.md file and a backupconfigs.sh script.

      Note: The backupconfigs.sh script is supported on Linux® and macOS only.
    2. Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a directory on your local computer.

      The extracted contents are placed in a backup-and-restore-configs subdirectory.

    3. Navigate to this subdirectory and then list the files: 
      cd backup-and-restore-configs

ls -l

      You should see output similar to this:

      
-rwxr-xr-x  1 sherc  staff   1.9K 29 Jun 16:04 README.md
-rwxr-xr-x  1 sherc  staff   2.0K 29 Jun 14:29 backupconfigs.sh
    4. Follow the instructions in the README.md file to back up and securely store the configuration objects.
  2. When you need to restore the backup, run the command in the README.md file.
