Export setup Linkage Definition from one environment to other

#Data Import and Export #Globals #Caché #HealthShare

Hi everyone,

We have successfully configured the Patient Index and are now looking to bring it to upper environments. Our plan is to export the Linkage Definition and import it into higher environments to avoid any manual work. However, I am having trouble finding an export option in the Linkage Definition Designer and locating the globals that hold this setup.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or guidance on how to export/import the Patient Index configuration between environments.

Thank you in advance!

The linkage definition is stored in a class which can be found here

you could use System Explorer->Classes to export the class as a file and then use System Explorer->Classes to Import the class.

Hi Stephen,

Yes, that's what I finally did. But I was hoping there was some other way around "cleaner". It's kind or surprising to me that the parameters are not stored on a global, but it's just a class created with the values hard-coded in it.

Thanks for your help, in any case :)

Maybe one good reason to have all of this in a class is normally you would make a change to the definition which write to the class, you then commit your changes, ie commit the class, and then promote the class using your normal class deployment strategy.

Who needs the flexibility and scalability of a database when you can just hardcode everything into the source code? I'm sure that'll make maintenance and updates a breeze.

Coming from someone with the PI expert badge, I take it as the near-official reason. Thanks for your help :-)
