19.2. Exporting a Profile
Abstract
Exporting a profile allows you to save a profile to an external file system. This is useful for creating standardize profiles and recreating profiles in multiple fabrics.
Overview
The management console exports a profile to a profile archive containing the data needed to recreate the original profile. The data consists of a folder for the profile. The profile's folder contains at least one properties file,
org.fusesource.fabric.agent.properties, that configures the container's agent to load the proper bundles. In addition, the profile's folder will contain a copy of any other configuration file used by the profile.
You can reconstruct the exported version by importing the archive into a fabric using the management console's import version feature as described in Chapter 17, Importing a Profile.
Procedure
To export a profile:
- Select the profile whose parents you want to change.The Profiles page for the selected profile opens.
- Click .The the profile archive will be downloaded to the local file system. The archive will be named
profile.zip.
