Navigation:  WebOffice author > Extras Menu > Staging Category > User Management Database

The User Management Database dialog provides four functions all connected to WebOffice usermanagement:

•Go Live!

•Recover

•Export

•Synchronize Users

 

 

Go Live!

WebOffice author supports synchronization of User Management Database from pre-production level (staging) to production level (production). Data will be transferred to production database and some data values (see below) will be mapped. Please be sure to describe these data mapping rules completely!

 

Note: This process actualizes data of UserManagement database of production system and may have an effect on the efficiency of the production system (Down time)!

 

Steps to do are:

•Define the Scenario: Go Live! (= Staging to Production)

•Choose the Staging profile from where the data is to be transferred.

•Choose the Production profile as the target of the data transfer

•Enter the name of server and service of the productive system (right side) corresponding to the one on the staging system (not editable).

•Do the same for your database connections. All parameters defining the connection may be mapped.

 

 

•After pressing the Ok button, choose the destination of the backup file. You can recover your database with the backup file if an error occurs.

 

 

If everything worked fine, in the bottom left corner of WebOffice author you will see a notification saying Staging executed successfully!.

 

 

Important note!: For optimal results and in order to complete the staging process, please follow the step by step instruction in How To chapter Usermanagement Staging with WebOffice author

 

Recover

The Scenario Recover allows the user to recover a saved backup of your database. Therefore, choose the scenario Recover and click Ok. A file dialog will open, where you can browse to the backup UMDB file.

 

 

Note: Be aware that you will loose the original database content of your current profile! Click Yes to continue with recovery or No to cancel.

Note: Make sure to connect the same database backup file in the same database version of your WebOffice author profile!

 

 

If the recovery operation is successful WebOffice author will show a notification in the status information saying Import of User Management database succeeded.

 

 

Export

The Scenario Export allows the user to save a backup file of your database. Therefore, choose the scenario Export and click Ok. A file dialog will open, where you can browse to the folder where you want to save the backup UMDB file.

 

 

After the export has been finished you will see a notification in the WebOffice author status information saying File UMDB_Backup_<application profile>_<date>_<time>.xml successfully written.

 

 

Synchronize Users

The Scenario Synchronize Users allows to synchronize the UserManagement Admin Web users and their passwords from a source to a target system.

Note: If the user already exists in the target system, the password will be overwritten.

If the user doesn't exist in the target system, the user will be created.

If a user was deleted in the source system, nothing happens in the target system. This task has to be performed manually.

Note: It is possible to synchronize users via scheduled tasks by using call parameter when opening the ArcMap.exe, please find more details in Synchronize UM users via scheduled tasks.

 

Before synchronizing the users, a backup file of your database will be created.

 

 

After the task has been finished you will see a notification in the WebOffice author status information saying User synchronization completed succesfully.
