Exporting an Application to a Remote Grid

When exporting an application to a remote grid, the Application Export Wizard walks you through the steps necessary to export and configure the application to reside on a remote grid. The wizard includes the following steps:

• General (Step 1 of 4)
• Configure Connections (Step 2 of 4)
• Configuration Properties (Step 3 of 4)
• Finalizing (Step 4 of 4)
• Migrating

General

The General tab contains the following fields:

Remote Grid

DNS name or IP address of remote grid to which the application is to be exported (for example, mygrid.ca.net).

New Application Name

Optional new name for exported application. If a new name is not specified, the exported application will have the same name as the local application being exported.

Configure Interfaces

Use the Configure Interfaces screen to edit the IP address connections.

Name

Specifies the interface name.

Network

Specifies the network.

IP Address

Specifies the IP address. Click the cell to open a drop-down menu that lists the available IP addresses. This menu is limited to 256 items. If more than 256 IP addresses are configured for a selected network, this field becomes a text input field and you must enter the IP address as typed text. Use the Info tooltip to display the available ranges of IP addresses for the selected network.

Info

Lists the name server and IP range.

Configuration Properties

Configuration Properties allows you to set values for properties of the application that specialize this instance of the application. This is useful for configuring location-specific parameters, such as IP addresses, and for configuring tuning parameters, such as cache sizes.

The default values of the properties display in ormal font. Property values explicitly configured for this application are in bold. Mandatory property values that are required, but not configured display in red.

For information about the property, its type and allowed values, select the info button. To restore the default value of a property, click the restore icon. Use the Reset All button to reset the values of all properties to their defaults.

Finalizing

The 'Finalizing' dialog of the wizard allows for you to specify the following

Do not compress volumes when migrating application

Select this option to disable compression when transferring volumes for the application. This option may speed up the operation if the application contains very large volumes.

Skip cleanup upon failure or completion (troubleshooting)

Select this option to not cleanup the imported application if a failure is encountered.
