Unable to copy settings of data element and rule from one property to another.
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hi @pitchmuc,
I would like to thankyou for your effort building and managing this module. This is super helpful.
I am looking to copy settings of data element and rule from one property to another.
The Synchronizer class is not useful as the previous versions will be overridden.
I am using Translator class instead. However, when I run the attached code, I don't see any errors. But the data element is not getting copied.
Can you please let me know if I am missing something here?
Also, is there a functionality to copy settings of an extension from one Property to another within the same Organization?
Thanks,
Abhi.
I am not sure why you do not want to use the synchronizer. You can always refer to previous version via the revision in Launch if needed to. It is just that comparison won't be easy.
I'll try to have a look at the code, but pretty tough without having access to the property and elements.
No function is made to manage extension settings, it is too much work for me to handle that on top of all other libraries.
Extensions settings are only single instance in each property, so it should be manageable to do them by hand.
Thanks for your quick reply @pitchmuc !
I was under the impression that Synchronizer will overwrite the rule/data element without leaving any traces/previous versions.
I will check the Synchronizer class and get back.
I manage 100+ properties in Launch, if a small change in one extension is required to be published across 100 + properties , it would take a lot of manual effort. Hence trying to automate things.
Looking quickly at the code, it seems that you do not copy the setting when you create one Data Element.
But it looks like you are trying to re-create the Synchronizer with some (command lines) inputs, there are a lot of things to consider if you want to do that. Many edge case scenarios to consider, especially for rules.
I would definitely try to use the Synchronizer.
If not 2 options:
- You try to reverse engineer the Synchronizer to do it your way. You have a good start there.
- You ask help from Adobe consulting so I can actually get paid to use/develop my wrapper :D
I would try to debug by printing some data points during creation of data elements and rules.
@pitchmuc , Thanks for your inputs. I tried Synchronizer class and I was able to copy Data Elements and Rules without any issues.
I would definitely look into your suggestions in the meantime.
Appreciate your help on this!
