Introduction

The Import/Export tool was created as a collaborative effort between GigaSpaces Professional Services and GigaSpaces Support to facilitate reliable and efficient snapshots of data in a XAP datagrid.

Instructions on how to use the Import/Export tool and how it was implemented can be found on GigaSpaces Best Practices wiki.

Build and Running the Tool

PreRequisites

• Java IDE
• JDK 1.8
• Apache Maven

Configuration

Check the pom.xml file to ensure gsVersion is configured to use the same version of XAP you installed with the Maven Plugin.

To determine the exact version number you will need to pull it from within <XAP_INSTALL_DIR>/tools/maven/maven-openspaces-plugin/pom.xml Alternatively you can find the version as a directory name in your .m2 folder .m2/repository/com/gigaspaces/gs-openspaces

<properties>
    <gsVersion>15.5.0</gsVersion>
    ...
</properties>

Building

mvn clean package

Running

Option 1 (from the IDE using maven)
a. Deploy the newly built export-import-1.0.SNAPSHOT.jar into your local git repository.

    mvn install:install-file -Dfile=../import-export/target/export-import-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=org.gigaspaces -DartifactId=xap-export-import -Dversion=15.5.0 -Dpackaging=jar

b. Click on "Edit Configurations" and set it with:
Main class: com.gigaspaces.tools.importexport.Program
Program arguments: -o export -l $LOOKUPLOCATORS -s {your Space} -d {your output location} --jarless

Option 2 (from CLI using maven classpath) - currently not working

    mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=com.gigaspaces.tools.importexport.Program -o export -l $LOOKUPLOCATORS -s mySpace -d /var/exporter/output

Option 3 (setting the classpath)
a. Copy the newly built export-import-1.0.SNAPSHOT.jar into the lib directory.
b. Run

    $JAVA_HOME\bin\java -cp $GS_HOME/lib/required/*:./lib/* com.gigaspaces.tools.importexport.Program -o export -l $LOOKUPLOCATORS -s mySpace -d /var/exporter/output
