| Resolution | Orbix provides a simple mechanism for converting a complete Orbix configuration scope from a file based domain to a TCL script which can be run with itadmin in order to update a CFR (Configuartion Repository). Assuming a file based domain created with itconfigure and called sample-domain exists, the configuration of this Orbix domain is available in a configuration file called sample-domain.cfg. This file can be easily edited with a text editor. Assuming the following scope contained in sample-domain.cfg needs to be migrated or added into a configuration repository example_scope { event_log:filters = ["IT_GIOP=*", " IT_ATLI2_IP=*"]; access_control { binding:server_binding_list = ["OTS AccessControl", "AccessControl", "OTS", ""]; orb_plugins = ["local_log_stream", "iiop_profile", "giop", "iiop", "portable_interceptor"]; binding:client_binding_list = ["AccessControl OTS POA_Coloc", "AccessControl POA_Coloc", "OTS POA_Coloc", "POA_Coloc", "AccessControl OTS GIOP IIOP", "AccessControl GIOP IIOP", "OTS GIOP IIOP", "GIOP IIOP"]; local_log_stream:filename="server.log"; }; }; The above scope can be converted to a TCL script which can be easily run with the itadmin command in order to enter the data into the configuration repository. For this task Orbix provides the following TCL script: %IT_PRODUCT_DIR%\\asp\\6.3\\bin\\file_to_cfr.tcl In the file based domain (after sourcing the sample-domain_env script) run the above script as follows: itadmin file_to_cfr.tcl -output_to_file example_scope.tcl -scope example_scope The above command will create the TCL script example_scope.tcl. In the CFR based domain, after sourcing the according environment script, run the above script with itadmin as follows: itadmin example_scope.tcl The above will create the scope and the variables in the CFR. The contents of the scope can be then printed out with: itadmin scope show example_scope For further details on itadmin and managing the Orbix configuration please consult the following Orbix documentation: Orbix Administrator's Guide |
