The SimpleOne system allows exporting and importing configuration packs to keep unrelated instances synchronized.
In brief, the VCS configuration pack conception can be defined as an ability to transfer data from one instance to another, in an automatic or semi-automatic way. It is intended for application version control. Configuration packs help to automate transfer data and configurations from one instance to another, lessen the manual effort. The key point is configurations transfer, for not to reiterate it more and more on every instance, you can just import a configuration pack. So, this technology really is to make it easy and automate a migration update from one instance to another.
Application configurations are stored in configuration packs which are represented as a .SOP file containing a set of the application version records. In an OOB supply, the SimpleOne platform contains only the Simple application, but administrators (users with the admin role) can create their own Applications if needed.
There can be more than one local pack in the system, but the changes made by a single source can be written only in one localpack at every moment. You can choose the preferable localpack using the Preferences menu at the right. Please refer to the Interface#AdminPreferences article for the details. |
