Unable to Export & Import the configurations from Customization UI page

We have number of configurations managed from Customization UI(such as properties files, custom jar's, custom protocols), we want to have an ability to export all those configurations and import into higher environments. This would help us speed up the code migration process and avoid any manual errors. I was told by IBM support that this functionality is currently not available, and we want to have this option enabled asap as we want to migrate all the configurations from one environment to other environments.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap.


    Exporting from one environment to another is not best practice for this use case - there could be configuration changes between environments that would cause these assets to break when importing to a different environment that is configured differently.


    We do have the ability to use APIs to deploy these assets from a source code repository, which we would consider a best practice. I.e. House all your BPs, custom properties, etc in a Git repo and use APIs to deploy them to each environment that needs them. APIs are considered future-facing and strategic in our roadmap, so we would not want to enhance the customization UI when an API would be a more flexible solution.


    These APIs are documented in swagger in your installation directory. See also https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/b2b-integrator/6.2.0?topic=cbra-b2b-rest-apis-available-in-sterling-b2b-integrator and look for the APIs that begin with "custom".
