important values from the task payload. Mapped attributes in Human Workflow
store and query use case-specific custom attributes that typically come from the
task payload values.
However, the problem it poses for you as an administrator, in the long run, is
migrating worklist customizations across different environments. Assume that a
bunch of participants create custom views, vacation rules, and add mapped at-
tributes in the test environment which will then have to be promoted to a pro-
duction environment. Oracle SOA Suite 11g provides a Human Workflow User
Config Data Migrator that is available as an ant target and can be executed at
the command line.
The Human Workflow User Config Data Migrator provides you with the following
two operations:
•
Export:
This operation extracts all the human workflow user-configurable
data from the source SOA server and saves it to an XML file on the disk.
•
Import:
This operation recreates all human workflow custom configurations
and imports data in the target SOA server by reading them from the source
XML file.
The Human Workflow User Config Data Migrator utility has two key files:
migration.properties:
This file contains all required input properties in
terms of key-value pairs for migration operations. It also determines what type
user configuration has to be imported or exported.
ant-worklist-t2p.xml:
This is an ant build file containing default ant target
runHwfMigrator
responsible for exporting customizations from one environ-
ment and importing them to another depending upon the operation.
