CMDBuild Forum

Are there any plan for a model export/import functionnality ?

Old Versions
#1

Hi,

 
As some may know, I've created a TOGAF/Archimate oriented model for CMDBuild (posted on this forum some months ago). As this model has evolved a little bit (mainly for internal use but not only), I now trying to find a better way to share it than publishing SQL queries.
 
So my question of the day is: "Are there any plan for a model export/import functionnality ?"
 
IMHO this functionnality is a must have for CMDBuild and could allow users to exchange models. I see differents means to do it:
  • Real export/import functionnality accessile in the administration module. This could create simple XML file containing model.
  • Command line tool to make use of the API. This could allow us to create scripts that act on the model and not only on data.

Dear Jean-Baptiste,
 
the contributor who integrated its TOGAF/Archimate system with CMDBuild, he's also developed a minimal XML import/export. You can get it using the URL:
 
    http://${HOST}/cmdbuild/services/cmdb-schema/
 
Give it a try, maybe it's what you are looking for. Alternatively you must use SQL, the logger "ddsql" contains all information.
 
Best regards.

Hi,
 
Thank you for this information, I will test it as soon as I will have upgraded my CMDBuild instance (still using 1.5.x at time of writing).
